| Yesterday's Tomorrow's," the traveling Smithsonian exhibit, will be here beginning May 8th.
One of the events planned to fit in
with the exhibit is the burial of a "time capsule" at the County Park. The time capsule will have items from the present sealed in the capsule. Then, in fifty years, the capsule will be opened.
Items must fit the capsule, which is 48" long, 22 1/2" wide and 19 1/2" high.
Some suggestions include artwork, crafts, money, forms of transportation, tools, means of communication, household items, school or educational material, etc.
Reverend Peig Schmitz is heading up the time capsule planning group. Picture it:
The year is 2053, the day, date and time, Sunday, June 1st, 2:30 p.m., and the place, Stevens School, Calhoun County Park.
To a rousing drum roll, the lid of the TIME CAPSULE is removed.
What do you want Calhounian's to find?
What items would portray the lives of Calhoun people in the days of 2003?
