For most people, summertime means outdoor activities: sports, swimming, playing at the park, and so forth. But when winter comes around, we tend to hunker down inside our homes. Sure, as a kid, I still spent some time outside in the winter, building snowmen, sledding, and having snowball fights, but there were always winter days that were just too cold to enjoy outside.

Friends, exciting things are happening at Pitsco!
In November, we officially announced our partnership with TTS, which will expand and grow early learning opportunities for children everywhere. We are all aware that hands-on learning begins early in a child’s development and that a child naturally learns through exploration and play – both extremely important qualities for STEM-based experiences.

Let’s be real here, we have some pretty neat nature in this world – some might call it “neature.”
What’s so cool about nature in the United States is that you get a different taste of it in every state.

Summer means it’s a great time for indoor sports and activities to help keep cool, and, for me, that always includes bowling! Bowling is one of those awesome pastimes I like because I can take any of my friends, regardless of skill level, and we can all have a good time, hang out, and easily social distance.
