[BCMA] Exhibit ideas?

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Tammy,
I went to this amazing museum in Las Vega a few years ago (
http://www.springspreserve.org/attractions/attractions.html). They had an
area which told about the flash floods and you could press a button and
experience one. I'm sure it cost thousands of $$ but maybe you could do
something on the cheap with lights and sound. A lot of the flash flood
exhibit was light and sound but they also had gallons of water come rushing
toward you each time.
Good luck.
Rebecca
