Flint Hills Discovery Center Foundation on the GMCF Community Hour Show Episode 330

We catch up with Leslie White from the Flint Hills Discovery Center Foundation on the projects, exhibits, and fundraising that keep hands-on learning growing across the Flint Hills. We talk about taking education programs directly to schools, what Bison Beef and Bourbon funds next, and how an upgraded outdoor classroom will handle real Kansas weather. • the new sculpture’s meaning for the Discovery Center and the region  • the dinosaur exhibit’s final days and why families should go soon  • SPARC program details and how it removes field trip barriers for schools  • the Foundation’s role as the 501(c)(3) fundraising arm  • the next exhibit announcement: Smithsonian Sea Monsters  • Bison Beef and Bourbon plans, ticket availability, and this year’s “Fueling the Future” goal  • how online silent auctions expand participation beyond the room  • outdoor classroom renovation timeline, features, and donor support  Tickets are still available, so you can find them on the Flint Hills Discovery Center website or the foundation's Facebook page are the two easiest places to go to register. But as I said, we're down to those final tickets. So Flint Hillsdiscovery.org is the website. GMCF CFAs
