Great Scott! Get ready to jump ahead 25 years in this time-bending experience. In Blast to the Future, participants will design a custom mission patch that represents their future identity and aspirations, and send a letter to their future self through our Time Travel Post Office, Postmarked 2051. What will your life look like?  What dreams will you chase?   Capture this moment in time and seal it away in our official community time capsule, where it will remain untouched until the future arrives.  Mark your calendars for November 12th at 3:30 for a special event when we will seal up the time capsule for 25 years! When it’s finally reopened, will your reality match what you imagined or will the timeline take an unexpected turn?

Time Travel Post Office:  Postmarked 2051
Step into our Time Travel Post Office and send a message across the years!  Write a letter to your future self, sharing your favorite things, big dreams, and what life looks like for you right now.  What do you hope the future holds?  What advice would you give the “you” of tomorrow?  Seal your message and place it in our time capsule, where it will wait to be opened in 25 years.  It’s a simple, meaningful way to capture today and send it forward through time.

Future in Progress
Design your very own Time Travel Mission Patch.  This special patch represents you, your family, and your hopes for the future.  What will your life look like in 25 years?   What dreams will you chase, and what mission will you be on?  Once your patch is complete, it will become part of our Time Capsule, sealed and saved to be opened in 25 years.  One day, you’ll get to look back and see how your “mission” unfolded.  Will your future match your imagination?  Create it. Seal it. Send it forward in time.

The last day to submit will be November 1st and the time capsule will be sealed on November 12th.
