About the application

The Aurora Fossil Museum invites your non-profit organization to participate in the very popular STEAM Zone component of the North Carolina Fossil Festival.

 

This key educational component of the festival offers nonprofits a platform to introduce their organizations to festival attendees. No application fee is required, just a willingness to share STEAM & History with festival participants!

 

Tables, chairs, refreshments, and lunch will be provided. This year, the Education Exhibitors will be located near the Aurora Fossil Museum's Learning Center, under a large tent.

 

Education organizations will need to be set up by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, with take-down to begin at 5:00 p.m. Afterwards, please plan to stick around, sit back, relax, and enjoy the live music and the festival.
