The 2002 Build Your Own Fossil Museum Seminar Report |
|
|
|
The 2002 edition of the Build-Your-Own-Fossil-Museum Seminar (April 16-17, 2002) had registrants arriving from Washington state, South Dakota, Colorado and East Texas. This year's group's smaller size allowed for more individual attention to be paid to the needs of each attendee. |

Several of the attendees indicated they are beginning to formulate plans for building their own creation-based fossil museum or traveling exhibits. Joe Taylor and the Mt. Blanco staff are available to further assist these attendees and others (including you) in fulfilling your dream of building your own fossil museum that proclaim the truth of creation and the Creator. |
