there are 169 rows in that .xlsx file … perhaps a newer version will contain images to supplement the verbal descriptions
IMHO, they are considering if/how they should add wanted lists to the online PaB.
First, I think we need at least one tank for a Mosasaur, which someone will hopefully build for the display.
to how many empty (clean) aquariums do we have access?
I used to teach Biology and I had probably a dozen aquariums between my classroom and the adjoining greenhouse. I sold some and left some behind, but I think I still have two ten gallon tanks that I can easily access. I have two more aquariums that are 40 gallons but they are much heavier / difficult to maneuver.
A standard 10 gallon tank is 20″ x 10″ x 12″ and weighs 11 lbs. A standard “40 gallon long” aquarium is 48″x12″x16″ and weighs 55 lbs when it is empty.
The image below (which is probably AI) inspired me to think more about the dinosaurs display in Cranberry. Here is an idea I’m proposing: what if we were to use inverted aquariums to provide the height needed to have a multilevel display?

“Equipment: (6) 8-foot tables, (6) 8-foot table linens, (4) chairs”Which at first glance seems like they are supplying these things, but later in the same message … “Please plan to bring all supplies you will need, including equipment such as tables, chairs, lighting and signage.” So … ???
If anyone looks back on this a year from now, the Cultural Trust DID supply the tables, stanchions, etc. despite the instructions in their email.
– the pass is not for parking, it is for load-in
– validation stickers will be given to vendors for parking at the Theatre Square Garagethe parking pass IS for parking, in fact one cannot even go into the Theatre Square garage without the pass and YES the Cultural Trust provides validation stickers to put on parking tickets, but only for parking at the Theatre Square garage

The trustarts.org site says “Join Steel City LUG in a hands-on LEGO activity! Plus get inspired by a special LEGO creation on display.”
So we need containers of play brick for both the free build and LIVE build. MOC’s would also be welcome.
So it seems that the main takeaways are that
– setup is at 6 and vehicles cannot enter for load out until after midnight
– the pass is not for parking, it is for load-in
– validation stickers will be given to vendors for parking at the Theatre Square Garage
Yes?

You must be logged in to view attached files.The file names “Dino-Support-Front” image is not opening for me, but I’d really like to see it so I can understand more than the idea of building a platform above. Has someone offered to build this platform?
I suppose there might be problems with light availability away from the windows if there is a platform all the way across. Although I would not expect the underground / undersea build to go all the way across the first level anyway, so having light in the middle wouldn’t be essential.
Should we have a section of the dinosaur display that has bone fossils in an underground cavern? Bob has several skeletons.
Is there a section of the display case that might be more suitable than others for making an underwater section? Any ideas on how to best create an underwater section? I have a pair of those blue canyon / raised baseplates which would take up a 64 wide x32 deep section.
… and my final submission, for your enjoyment!
Then I was on a roll!
They’re ok, but I thought what is something that LEGO would not do?
I played around with some parts to make something more ornamental.
I wanted to creating an ornament idea that has NOT already been done. I made these, but they are not really ornaments.
Wait! What happened to the demon-possessed version of the forum? It was starting to grow on me.
(Going to work on a Christmas ornament now.)
I made this blue sky background for an SW Randall display several years ago. (I am not sure it was ever used.) I’m wondering if it should be disassembled … can anyone think of a purpose for keeping it together?

There is the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in DC, but I’ll bet that is pricey.
An indoor gym at a large college might work, as long as the football team doesn’t need it.
IDK, that’s why he gets paid the big bucks.
This is only marginally relevant, but a virtual reality exhibit of Machu Picchu has been playing in DC for several weeks: https://machupicchuexp.com/dc/
