Friday Night Social |

The
parade had a destination of the
Mid-America Science Museum with FREE supper and
admission |
|

|
|
 |
Since we watched the
parade then drove out, the parking lot was full |
 |
 |
|

|
This told you just how
many Vettes were participating this weekend |
 |
 |
we didn't want to get
blocked in so we found a really good spot to park |
|
|
|
|

 |
On our way to the
building, we ran across some great looking mid-years |

See Sir Roland Emmett's
wondrous and whimsical creations, three of which were
used in the classic movie, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
These rare machines, the "Featherstone-Kite," the
"Little Dragon Carpet Sweep", the "Hush-A-Bye Hot Air
Rocking Chair", and the "Visi-Vision", create an
atmosphere of fun, playfulness, and inventiveness that
challenge the senses and imagination |

We enjoyed
eating supper outside by the stream, before going in to
enjoy the exhibits |

The energy exhibit now includes the world's largest
conical Tesla Coil, "Caged Lightning", which
produces 1.5 million volts of electrical energy. Spark
your curiosity with a new twenty-two inch diameter
plasma globe or lightning ball. And of course, you can
still have a "hair-raising" experience with the Van de
Graaff generator. The energy island is a changing array
of experiments demonstrating the various effects of
energy, its characteristics and behavior. The numerous
controls around the perimeter allow you to view and
manipulate various experiments. |

For those needing a little
more of a physical challenge, you could lift your body
weight on these three series of pulley setups, to help
one understand the difference in single vs multiple ??? |

A special
laser light show was created for the Corvette visitors |

Before departing, we
couldn't resist pulling the Vettes into the entrance by
the signs for a parting shot |
