Aaron Bank, Two-time Chef Showdown Champion
The guests were hotly divided as to who would come out the champion, there were definite favorites coming into the showdown. Guests were talking about the dishes before they even made it to the table as the aromas from the kitchen were wafting through the Frances Leach High Prairie Arts & Science Complex.
We thank you for joining us in our evening of fun and food and wine. We are already looking forward to next year’s showdown!

Not a dull moment at Gateway to Science! Beth is busy as a bee finalizing details for Einstein on Wine, our 7th Annual fundraiser, getting ticket sales out the door and getting all the silent auction items lined up. If you haven’t gotten your tickets, You better hurry up! Few tickets will be sold at the door. Many great events will take place after Einstein on Wine. Preparations are already being made for ‘Da Genius Da Vinci’ and the 2011 Bowling Tournament! Beth is already putting long hours to make sure both upcoming events are a success.
Christie, our program coordinator is already getting registrations for our upcoming Environmental Festival on March 16th, 2011. This will be our 12th Annual Environmental Festival. Confirmed speakers are already lined up. Many hours and many deadlines are involved through this great Event! In between now and then, she is also getting ready for our first family event of the year Winter Wonderland, our annual Widget Contest, and Gateway to Science newest program Explore Engineering . These are just a few of the programs and events that are keeping Christie very busy!
Publication of the winter newsletter is on its way. I am having the opportunity to experience first hand the many events that Gateway to Science puts together. A learning experience, as well as very rewarding. Putting press releases together, media promotions of future events, updating our website , sending information to our members, and helping here and there with upcoming programs and events at Gateway to Science, and at the same attending all the fun festivities, what else could I possible asked for?
With visitors coming into our exhibit gallery on a daily basis, the Young Scientists Club in progress, and just wrapping up past events, in good company of our staff, board members, and the support of our members, we are glad to be here!
Getting together with family and friends during the upcoming holidays and visiting the Science Center is a must on your checklist! In the last couple of months we received visitors from Texas, Virginia, Colorado, and California. They all wrote great comments about the Exhibit Gallery on our guest book! So come on over! We’d love to see you!
