The new added Dinosaur Hunting exhibit (at the end of the table) worked out perfect with the new Jurassic World movie out in theaters.
We also shared one of our two tables with our good friends in Dr. Robert's Traveling Odditorium. These guys are always a hit and always leave us counting down the days til Halloween.

The Traveling Odditorium
Photo Shoot
at the
Devil's Attic
647 West Hill Street
Saturday, May 23rd
Noon - 3 pm
from our friends at the Traveling Odditorium.....
Devil's Attic is a haunted house attraction that is currently closed for the season until Halloween time.
The owner of the attraction, a fantastic gentleman, has allowed us to come to the Attic and take some professional pictures/movies. Some of the sets include a throne room, a giant undead dragon, a steampunk lab, a Victorian era room, a corn field, and many more unique looking rooms! Some of the scenes do get a little dark and gory, and may frighten small children.
We (The Odditorium) are looking for people who are interested in joining us as an extra for a photo shoot this Saturday at 12 pm. We need zombies, vampires and other monsters. We will have a professional photographer on site and this will be a great opportunity to get some fantastic pictures made! That being said, you can come join us and get pictures made in your normal steampunk clothing and may not be a monster for us. However, if you do plan to do this, there will be a $15.00 charge. If you are wanting to be a monster for us then there is no charge, as you will be an extra. We do have some clothing available for individuals wanting to be a zombie (and possibly a vampire as well) but we recommend that you provide your own clothing, just in case, even normal steampunk clothing with blood on your face will work in order to be a zombie (so you can bring your own clothing and we will supply the gore and blood). We have people in our group that are great with blood and makeup, and will be able to give you that "Zombie/Vampire" look.
Please note, that this event is for our family, the Corn Island Steampunk Society and the Odditorium members. We would love to have outside groups and people participate but we are paying for time and some spaces of the attraction are small and would get congested wasting time. We will have a great time and are planning on going out to eat afterwards. I hope that you will join us for this unique experience. Thanks everyone.
