Scenes above from the road show in Kennewick, Washington in March 2008.  This event drew people with a large variety of age ranges, from young children to elderly members of the community.  People were given a chance to pick up and handle real meteorites, and apply magnets to them.  Obviously, the young girl in the upper right image was surprised at the weight of an iron meteorite.  Dick Pugh, who presented at this show, is the man wearing the white shirt in the lower right hand image
