Dorothy has a new home


At 1PM today, Dorothy's keys were handed over to Dr. Shawn Carlson of the Sci-tech Children's Museum in Aurora, Illinois. Dorothy will be placed in the museum later this month after completion of a massive construction project that will give her a "wing" of her own in the museum. The new display will host not only Dorothy, but over 200 pictures from her history, a display of past educational events, and a new disaster preparedness display that will feature the recent storm in Eldora, Iowa and the Chasing4Life/NATL activities there.
Below we have plced some photos of the highly emotional day. Speeches were given by Dr. Carlson, David Alexander, Eddy and Alannah.
