Airport Seeks Local Creativity for Time Capsule Ideas
SACRAMENTO, CA. — What do a local restaurant menu, a pre-loaded MP3 player with chart-topping songs, and souvenirs from the American River Parkway have in common? All three are being considered for inclusion in the New Central Terminal B 2011 Time Capsule at Sacramento International Airport. Sacramento County Airport System is asking local residents to share their creative ideas for more items to place in the capsule. Ideas should include small items that focus on the year 2011, Northern California, or the airport.
The County Airport System recently launched a survey about the time capsule. A link to the survey can be found on www.sacairports.org or www.bigbuild.org. Airport fans can also share their ideas via Twitter @SacIntlAirport or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sacintlairport. The deadline to submit ideas is January 31, 2011.
The airport plans to install the time capsule in late 2011 during the opening ceremonies of the New Central Terminal B. Airport and local officials will unearth the capsule during the ground breaking ceremonies of a future airport expansion in 20 or 30 years.
