I’m formally soliciting for people to build pavilions for the 2013 SpinDizzy World’s Fair.\u00a0 The 2013 World’s Fair is more than eight months away, but I hope that by encouraging an early start, we can get large numbers of pavilions, equalling or exceeding in detail and elaborateness those of prior Fairs.\u00a0 I know the recent Building Classes have been well-attended, and this seems (to me at least, although I’m probably biased) an excellent opportunity to build something that the public will come to look at and marvel over.<\/p>\n
Existing pavilions are: Lemurs, Otters, Devilbunnies, The SED, The Zinc Society, Hall of Friendship, Clan LunaStar, and SpinDizzy in a Nutshell.<\/p>\n
The meta-theme that seems to unite all of these pavilions, whether species-based or organization-based, is that of education.\u00a0 The displays that struck people most in past Fairs have been the ones that went into detail about a species’ or organization’s view of itself and its place in the world.\u00a0 Interactive exhibits, and souvenir vending machines are always popular touches as well.<\/p>\n
If you’ve an idea, but are unsure of your ability to build it, we’ll give you guidance, although you’ll still do the actual work.\u00a0 We want you to produce a crowd-pleaser.\u00a0 Mail or talk to Sally if you’re interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
