Well, things have really taken off! Sometimes you plant a seed, a bare inkling of an idea, and the next thing you know...
WOW!
Not only has Shaw TV Red Deer contacted us regarding Josiah's dream to go to Drumheller, Alberta, they'll be interviewing him while he'd there. The Drumheller Mail will be interviewing Josiah and his mom, Lisa, during their stay as well. And the Drumheller Valley Times may have an article out about little Dino-Man this week. Watch for it! There'll be an online version as well.
Well, the seed was planted. All I was hoping for was maybe someone in Victoria would pick up the story and run it...so that more people would stop by Lisa and Josiah's lemonade and dino-cookie stand. I never had any idea that it would take off like this!
Please check the Project Drumheller for all the info, news and list of sponsors.
You can also check my site for the odd update!
Now for the most exciting news....the Ellen Degeneres Show requested a video of Josiah after seeing one of my press releases. Lisa and Josiah recorded a cute video with Josiah describing the different dinos and their habits. Who knows?? There could be a trip to the US in their future!
AND...Josiah will be meeting his idol, Dr. Philip Currie--esteemed paleontologist and curator of the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. The museum has wonderfully donated some exciting activities to Josiah and his family. Dr. Currie's name is familiar to young Josiah. He has the world-renowned dino-hunter's book and videos.
Lisa and Josiah will be in Drumheller in mid-July. This will be the trip of a lifetime for little Dino-Man...and I'm so glad that I got to be a small part of this journey...that I got to plant the seed, watch it grow....and that for once...no weeds!
Project Drumheller shows that dreams really do come true...if you want them badly enough and if you're open to gifts from the universe.

I've been involved with a special project that's been nicknamed Project Drumheller.
Project Drumheller is a publicity campaign that I started in order to help my friend Lisa take her son Josiah to Drumheller to hunt for dinosaurs!
Josiah is a six-year-old budding paleontologist who has dreamed of traveling to Drumheller, Alberta, to see the "Dinosaur Capital of the World". And I am doing everything I can to help him get there.
If you are in Victoria, you can check out Josiah's lemonade and dino-cookie stand at the Estevan Street Market every weekend in June.
You can also pick up a copy of Whale Song or Divine Intervention at Josiah's stand and 50% of the sales will go to Project Drumheller!
Already Josiah and his mom, Lisa, a hard-working single mom, have been interviewed by CBC Radio (Victoria) and a leading talk show has shown an interest in this project.
Rumor has it a major fast food chain is considering SPONSORING their entire trip!
One of the other sponsors is Mindful Canada www.mindfulcanada.com, which has been responsible for garnering gift certificates and other goodies for Josiah and Lisa.
For more information please see the new website I designed for them: www.projectdrumheller.com
