I'm glad that they do not just want a "space" theme display. I was thinking
that a multi-theme display that crossed several "timelines" could be really
neat. The "edges" of each theme display could blend together (kind of like
the Bill and Mary Idea Book when they move from Town to Space). Lots of
room for creative overlap (I hope I am being clear).
We may also want to consider hosting an "activity day" in connection with
the display - maybe on the same day that the display is set up. From
reading messages in the Train newsgroup, I know that build sessions are
popular. We may be able to get Lego to provide a K-8 or two for this.
Anyone know who we should contact for this?
