PETALUMA -- If during these hard economic times you're trying to stick to having fun at a minimal price, then head to Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Factory.

Mrs. Grossman's churns out stickers by the piece, the foot and the roll, to the tune of more than 300,000 an hour.

A tour of the facility begins with a video about the company, followed by the manufacturing process. The tour includes seeing a laser beam cut intricate designs on stickers to the sorting and wrapping process.

After the tour, guests get a package of stickers and a postcard to create their own masterpiece.

The company also has a visitors center, complete with a museum showcasing the history of Mrs. Grossman's creations, and a company store. Visitors are encouraged to bring along a lunch to be enjoyed on the indoor or outdoor picnic tables.
