The Children’s Museum of Memphis has new traveling exhibit called Living in Space.

The exhibit gives kids the chance to see what life is like for an astronaut in space. Kids get to pretend to do official science research as they work as astronauts and get to see what it is like to live, play, and eat in space. Kids can also experience real stories from space.

The exhibit is made up of three parts: “Living in Space,” “Working in Space” and “Playing in Space.” Each part gives kids a chance at hands on, educational fun. They even get to see what it’s like to have to go to the bathroom in space!

Living in Space is presented in English and Spanish.

Admission to the exhibit is included with regular museum admission.

The exhibit will be on display through December 16, 2007.

Square dancing can be tons of fun and a great workout. Just ask the Cotton Pickin’ Squares. They are a Memphis square dance group that loves to have fun. They meet every Thursday at 7pm at Holy Trinity church on Highland - 685 S. Highland (just past the U of M).
