Congratulations on being selected for the Dinosaur George Summer Outreach Program. The Dinosaur George Traveling Museum is completely free to selected communities, a value of over $3,500! Here is an overview of the program: The Dinosaur George Company has been in business since 1997. In 2012 we created our traveling museum that is designed to bring dinosaurs, and other prehistoric animals, into elementary schools and communities throughout Texas. Since then, we have seen hundreds of thousands of student across the state. Our exhibit is a combination of real and cast fossils. Each item is accompanied by large, easy to read signs that are also visual for non-readers. Pieces include prehistoric fish, mammals, reptiles, and dinosaurs. Those that lived in Texas are highlighted with a Texas flag. Our traveling museum is fully self-contained. We do not require any tables, equipment, or volunteers. We handle all set up, hosting, and removal. The amount of space needed to set up the exhibit is about 3000 sq feet, but we can adjust and adapt to fit it in most any facility. We require double doors, or roll up doors to be able to get our larger cates in the building. We cannot use a loading dock. And our cates cannot be moved across dirt, grass, or gravel. Our staff will set up and facilitate a gift shop within the exhibit area. We do not require any volunteers or assistance within the gift shop. Our crew will arrive the afternoon prior to your event date to set up the exhibit. It usually takes them 2 hours to set up, as well as 2 hours to break down and remove everything. Your organization can set the hours, but you must close by 7:00 pm at the latest. Be aware that our crew must have access to the building up to 2 hours after closing sO that they can remove and load the exhibit. This free exhibit is for one day. Ify you would like to have multiple days, the cost per day will be $900. This exhibit is to be free and open to the public. We are relying on you to assist in the promotion of the event to your community. We will send you a social media kit to help promote your event once we have your date(s) set. mpsloudocollecomimaMMMOAUYTNUAUMEIOMIMONAOCWTNMKAIASIDNTEM2ZAOBGAWAACEODASEAA58BeTLUMSHCGHBWA. 1/3 4/28/25, 9:43 AM Mail - Gina Pence Outlook Thank you sO much, Jay Lynch - Director of Events The Dinosaur George Company 695 Anthem Lane New Braunfels, Texas 78132 Office - (210) 494-4507 Toll Free - (888) 487-7478 w.Dnosaurceorgecom From: Gina Pence <notifications@cognitoforms.com> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2025 7:17 PM To: booking dinosaurgeorge.com vooangednogeorecom Subject: Booking Form - Gina Pence Dino George LLC Booking Form View full entry at CognitoForms.com.
