Below you can see the information we posted about the first ever Yuma Dome open house.

It went really well. We had a bunch of people come and visit with us. I wish we could have had the stairs in place to make access easier for people who wanted to see the second floor but it wasn't to be.

I hope to be able do this again in the future as we definitely considered it a success. We only had a few people who were unhappy and that was because they couldn't see the second floor as they were unable to climb the ladder. I tried to avoid this by making sure the newspaper explained that we were still a work in progress but it's not a big deal. The situation was dealt with and I don't think anyone left mad.

There was a nice write-up in the paper a day or two after the event. If I can get a copy of the pictures they published I may be able to post them here. There was a nice shot looking down on the crowd of people we had in the atrium.

 


OPEN HOUSE

October 20, 2001

Hear ye, Hear ye!

In cooperation with the Monolithic Dome Builders Association (MDBA)

We will be joining the Dome Open House from

10AM - 4PM on October 20, 2001

The public is welcome to come and see the progress on our home.

As anyone who has been following along knows, the dome is not complete yet so please don't be disappointed by expecting a complete furnished home this year. The MDBA plans for this to be an annual event and at present, we expect to be a regular participant.

For those of you who are interested in learning more, we will have various information available about the use, construction, and variety of Monolithic Domes.

There will be a $5 charge for attending. In the future this will be used to cover cleaning costs after the event. This year it will be for cleaning up before the event. (Ahh, the fun of a construction site!)
