A PAID ATTRACTION DISPLAYING SEA, LAND, AIR AND SPACE IN MINIATURE,
PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT ______________________ [ FILL IN THE BLANK WITH THE NAME OF YOUR CHARITY]
THE UPSHOT OF MY FUND-RAISING MUSEUM IDEA IS TO USE OUR MODEL COLLECTIONS TO CREATE PAID-ADMISSION, MUSEUM-TYPE ATTRACTIONS IN HIGH FOOT TRAFFIC AREAS IN TOURISM CENTERS. THIS IDEA WOULD WORK ANYWHERE IN AMERICA. RAISE THE FUNDING WITH TOURIST DOLLARS.
USE THE MODELS TO CREATE A NICE PRESENTATION IN AN ART-GALLERY TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT, WITH THINGS CLEARLY LABELED ETC, UNDER OR BEHIND GLASS, WITH CARPETED FLOORS.
THE MUSEUM SHOULD ALSO HAVE A GIFT SHOP.
THE GIFT SHOP COULD SELL T-SHIRTS, DIECAST TOYS, KITES, MODEL KITS, POSTERS, BOOKS ETC.
THE EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO NOT STEP ON THE COMPETING BUSINESSES TOO MUCH,
BUT LET'S NOT BE BASHFUL ABOUT GOOD SALES AND A SUCCESSFUL ATTRACTION.
DISPLAYS, MODELS, ARTIFACTS ETC COULD BE CREATED OFF-SITE, THEN BROUGHT DOWN AND SET UP.
IF WE CHANGE THINGS AROUND AND ADD NEW STUFF FROM TIME TO TIME, PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO COME IN TO SEE WHAT'S NEW.
IF THE ATTRACTION IS SUCCESSFUL, IT COULD CONTINUE INDEFINITELY AND CONTINUE TO GROW.
IF WE GET A BIG BUILDING, WE SPREAD THINGS OUT AND IF WE GET A SMALL BUILDING, WE TIGHTEN UP.
ONCE STARTED, ALL KINDS OF ARTIFACTS COULD BE INCLUDED RIGHT UP TO REAL AIRCRAFT OR VEHICLES.
