June 9, 2007, Plattsburgh — Graymont’s Plattsburgh Quarry in New York, held it’s annual “Kid’s Days”. The program is a two full-day event that includes multiple tours of the quarry and presentations given by Graymont employees and other officials. Ninety students from the Oak Street Elementary school witnessed a large section of limestone on the far side of the quarry brought down by a series of 10 charges. They also saw the control room of a rock crusher, and were able to view and handle various samples in the Plattsburgh Quarry laboratory. The students learned about stone and its various uses, safety, and the environment.
