2008 Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Awareness Days Photos!

During the summer of 2008 MCDHH hosted three events at each of the major theme parks in Missouri: 
Six Flags in June, Worlds of Fun in July, and Silver Dollar City in August. 

Enjoy the pictures.  Look for familiar faces and don't forget to join us next year!!!

Six Flags Deaf and Hard of Hearing Awareness Day was on June 7, 2008.

Volunteer mentors worked with ITP practicum students on interpreting the entertainment.

Practicum students interpret some "Movie Magic!"

Shows were interpreted throughout the park. Even here on the beach in Hurricane Harbor!

Volunteer coordinators catch some rays!

Bugs and Daffy get in on the fun!

Worlds of Fun Deaf and Hard of Hearing Awareness Day started out rather soggy on July 12, 2008.

Rain or shine, the shows (and the chatting) continued!!

Luckily the rain ended and friends came out to enjoy the rest of the day.

One of the shows interpreted at Worlds of Fun was the dog show!

Everyone got in on the action!

One of the stars of the show - who happens to be deaf!

Come join us next year at Worlds of Fun Deaf and Hard of Hearing Awareness Day!

Silver Dollar City Deaf Awareness Weekend was August 9, 2008.

Information and sign up was available for a Deaf/Hard of Hearing emergency preparedness group - called CERT.

Sprint/Relay MO also had information to share.

HUNDREDS of people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing came out to Silver Dollar City on one of the busiest weekends of the year.

Unfortunately, the rains came later in the day. People adjusted and found indoor places to socialize. Here: near the glass blowing demonstration.

During the summer, Fun and Awareness were had by all! Even the Veggies learned some sign language!
