GAMA takes part in Family Friday Night, each month at Columbus' COSI museum. It's the one night of the month that the museum is open late for members. We run five tables of games, for about four hours, as part of the general entertainment of the evening. We've had a lot of success there, running all sorts of games (including EcoFluxx). Getting them to carry the games in their stores is going slowly, but we've had a couple of successes there as well. Before each session, we'll also print out a list of stores in the area. That way, if the people we're playing with want to buy a game and the COSI store doesn't carry it, we can still give them the list and send them to their local game store. -Trey Trey Reilly trey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx aka GAMA's Program Manager >-----Original Message----- >From: rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rabbits- >bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Christopher Hickman >Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 10:38 AM >To: Rabbits Discussion List >Subject: [Rabbits] Re: educational stores > >On Jan 7, 2007, at 8:57 AM, Kimberly Terrill wrote to the Something >list: > >> Has anyone promoted any games to an educational store or a >> children's science museum?
