.. The new, (looks very much like the old,) visitor education center at Canyon Village will officially open on August 25, 2006. The grand opening will take place on Friday, August 25. It coincides with the 90th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service.

3), An evening lecture by University of Utah geophysicist Dr. Robert B. Smith.
.. The exhibits concentrate on the geology of the Yellowstone Hot Spot, the Yellowstone Supervolcano, and the animals of the Hayden Valley. Our sneak peek suggests that this is a well executed education center, and that it should serve the park for at least another 30 years - until the rampant edifice complex strikes again.
Fanfare items include:
1), Superintendent Suzanne Lewis will host the ceremony, which begins at 10:00 a.m., in front of the new building. The doors to the visitor education center will open to the public for the first time at the conclusion of the event,2), A concert by western folk recording artist Bruce Anfinson,
