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
            Missouri. 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 free with entrance
            to Powell Gardens.

WHERE:      Powell Gardens
            1609 NW US Highway 50
            Kingsville, MO 64061

            Saturday, June 12  10am to 4pm
            Sunday, June 13  10am to 4pm

WHY:        Missouri is in the heart of termite country, and Termidor
            Termite Control has created the Towering Termite Tour to
            educate 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.
