"Take Your Kids to Work Day" was a huge success at Oblon, Spivak. The kids toured the new building, visited with their parents' in their new offices to see what their parents' careers are like, visited the Masonic Temple, and watched a movie, but the highlight of the day was the mock trial of SpongeBob vs. SpongeRob. SpongeBob was victorious of course, much to the delight of all the kids. SpongeBob also held an autograph signing and photo shoot after the trial.
