WHAT:   The 2004 Towering Termite Tour, the world's largest traveling
        interactive termite exhibit housed in a two-story high
        inflatable termite, is swarming into Mobile just in time for
        Alabama Termite Awareness Week, February 23-29. Designed to
        educate and entertain kids and their parents, the belly of
        this bug (which is 69,000 times the size of a real termite)
        houses terrariums of real termite colonies, unusual materials
        attacked by termites like piano keys and magazines, fun
        learning games, strange but true termite facts (for every
        human on Earth, entomologists calculate there may be as many
        as 1,000 pounds of termites!) and valuable take home
        information for parents. Admission to the event is included in
        the ticket price for the Gulf Coast Exploreum.

WHERE:  Gulf Coast Exploreum
        65 Government Street
        Mobile, Alabama

WHEN:   Thursday, February 26       10am to 5pm
        Friday, February 27          9am to 3pm
        Saturday, February 28       10am to 4pm

WHY:    Governor Bob Riley has proclaimed February 23-29 to be
        Alabama Termite Awareness Week. Termidor Termite Control
        supports his effort to educate Alabama families about the
        newest, most effective ways to protect their homes from
        costly termite damage, while providing an enriching and
        entertaining science exhibit to curious youngsters.
