On Thursday evening Mike gave Owen's cub scout pack a tour of the Idaho Press Tribune. The cub scouts got the full tour from the front of the building; classifieds, sales, advertising, editorial and sports departments through to pagination where the plates are made and ended in the press room. The boys learned a lot and asked good questions. Mike gave them a great tour.
