KELLOGG’S! Just saying that magical name conjures up childhood memories of breakfast at the family table with a bowl full of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, or Rice Krispies!  And if a mouthful of sugary cereal wasn’t enough to excite you as a kid, the boxes branded with Kellogg’s mascots certainly did. Colorful images of Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam, and Snap Crackle & Pop began your day.  But of course, Kellogg’s is more than simply a cereal enterprise. Since its beginnings in 1906 in Battle Creek, Michigan, the Kellogg Company has provided quality convenience foods for families and individuals around the world. More than just an international food company whose origins were based on nutrition, Kellogg’s made eating fun.  Even today, enjoying Kellogg’s cereals is like spending time with an old friend.

Author Christopher Lock will present on the history of the Kellogg Company; its foundation, products, and motivations for commercial growth. He will explore the biography of the Kellogg brothers; their background, personal life, and business interactions. The presentation will then cover the products that made Kellogg’s a household word . . . from nutritional convenience food to the cereals enjoyed by generations of kids, including the brands, the mascots, the marketing & advertising, and the merriment that Kellogg’s brought each day. This presentation will be more than simply a historical account of Kellogg’s . . . it will serve as visual trip down memory lane of the great convenience foods and fun cereals we grew up with and continue to enjoy.

Registration and email address is required because a Zoom link will be sent to registrants the day of the program.
