I cannot find any suitable buildings for rent. And, I am convinced that if I were mobile I could take my educational exhibit to Bigfoot Conferences, State and County Fairs and hundreds of local schools. PLUS, I have a curriculum that schools could insert into various classes, history, art, biology, grammar , psychology, etc…….. I need help! funding, carpenters, mechanics, artists AND IDEA PEOPLE !!!!I have many displays, casts and molds, pictures , books, cd’s and dvd’s. Everything is 100% ready to be installed ! This would be a great project and an awesome adventure ! By the way, did I mention that I need a bus, rv or a trailer ??? Does anyone have one they would love to donate?? I have had two annual Bigfoot Conferences and attendees came from 14 states ! I have an excellent reputation. Have a wonderful day, Harriett McFeely, The BIGFOOT LADY

Complete with big truck glass, spacious interior and customized design, you would really feel the unusual learning experience on these mobile museums.

Especially if you can manage 3 or 4 at the same time. Sure it requires a lot of time and money but you can use reporting tools to keep everything in check and make some profit fast too.

Visiting 6th and 7th grades, students make art on the trucks followed by a field trip to the museum. The Maya Mobile started in 1997, the Ancient World Mobile in 2003. Both programs are offered for free to schools; visit http://www.lacma.org for more information.
