What's New for 2008 Show


1.   Field Trip Ticket Price Will Be Higher. I estimated the cost for SVM to prepare for the
      field trips and it is clear that the prices we have been charging for these field trips is much
      less than their true cost. SVM would be money ahead if they just gave use money equal to
      the income we make on the field trips and save their costs in preparing for the field trips.
      While this would save them money and be much less work for us, money isn't everything.
      We know that many of you rely on our field trips for significant parts of your programs.
      To achieve an income more in line with actual costs, we have decided to increase field trip
      prices for next year. The new prices will be Mud: $10 per car, Blow Holes: $10 per car,
      and Pink Halite: $15 per car.   Other prices (campng, brine bottles, etc.) will remain
      about the same.
2.   Port-a-potties on field trips.  This year we again had 2 port-a-potties at the field trip sites
      and  this seemed to adequately meet the needs of field trip participants.  We will do the same
      next year.
3.   Field trip supplies in General Store.  Because we expect the "Dirty Jobs" segment to
      increase attendance next year, we will increae the amount of field trip supplies and pink halite
     in our General Store.  We hope it will meet your needs.
4.  The Gem-O-Rama video may, or may not be revised for the 2008 show.  I have quite a
     bit of new media to use, but also have other projects to do as well. So maybe or mabe not.
