Hello All, The local lawn and garden show is a week away (Feb. 28th - March 4th). The Kansas Meteorite Society, along with the Wichita Gem and Mineral Society, will be manning a booth in the education section, the entire week.
http://www.wichitagardenshow.com/ We will be handing out pamphlets along with showing and describing meteorites to the 50,000 in attendance. 10% of the Americans have gardens (I read that somewhat?) and most have a small interest in rocks. I should be able to arrange a couple radio spots to tell people they can bring rocks in to be looked at. Among the display, I will bring along my microscope with a thin section of NWA 998. Being a Mars meteorites, and really colorful under polarized light, it always seems to be of interest to the general public. I have kind of a small green thumb, so perhaps I can pick up a few tips and products for my own house, so I am looking forward to the show. If anyone will be in town, please let me know. Clear Skies, Mark Bostick www.meteoritearticles.com www.imca.cc ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
