Center in Thermopolis. Schedule is: 9 am-4 pm, JUNE 16-17, JULY 7-8, JULY 
28-29, AUGUST 11-12. Cost is $50, including lunch/snacks both days.

education and expand youth programs and teacher education programs.
The Third Annual Teacher Workshop will be held June 23-25 in Thermopolis, 
Wyoming, and will include guest speaker Stuart Becher of the Hansen 
Planetarium, Salt Lake City.
And don't forget -- October is National Dinosaur Month (and International
