UNIVERSAL ARTS, INC. at the Yankee Inventors Expo!

As we walked into the JFK High School gymnasium in Waterbury, CT, we were greeted by this joyful Welcoming Committee who asked if we were visitors or exhibitors and then gleefully handed us our badges and exhibitor's handbooks.

"Here I share with a fellow inventor, after being judged by one of this Expo's many Judges, the process of gaining the rights to his inventions"

"What we have here is a product from the future for the future, and I call this Mirage II - Stop Smoking Bank ", as William Haney gracefully put it in his pitch to the Tonight Show and it's host, Jay Leno.

I am thankful for the opportunity to have been able to share with America my inventions, whether Jay took it seriously or not, we may never know. I am thankful non-the-less.

It was enlightening to be among other inventors and to see how they sold their inventions to the visitors and Manufacturing Representatives that came from all over the country to see our inventions.

And to witness the expertise of the judging committee that patiently listened to every exhibitor as they explained their inventions in full detail and then replied with worth while suggestions for improving marketability.

This was also our chance to re-introduce "Lunar Hop" and to see how it would be embraced by a new generation. "We LOVE it!", said these two high school students that came by to play our game.
