I'd be interested, too. For awhile now I've wanted to develop a
mascot for the Tsongas Center that would appeal to kids, especially.
We plan to have our summer day camp kids work on some ideas for us.
Our topics and themese of industrial history can be pretty unfriendly
at times and I suspect that a friendlier image for the Center would be
useful and just plain fun. We've been thinking of a number of different
kind of mascots, from ducks (they live in the canals that surround the
mills in downtown Lowell) to animated steam engines (like Thomas the
Tank Engine or whatever). I'd like to see us develop a set of "industrial
puppets" that we could use for public events, etc.
 
Thanks for any ideas that might come my way this time!
