Summer Camp: Week 2
The Second Week of Summer Camp has come and gone. It was much busier than the first week of camp. There were twenty-nine kids that attended camp this week. We had many interesting characters attend this week of camp. .
We had brothers and sisters, cousins, friends, and neighbors that came to camp. We had several people from San Antonio and everywhere around Texas attending this week’s camp..
The same 4 programs again this week, but it was definitely a bit livelier than the previous week. On the Create a Soft Drink day we had a group create Funky Monkey and created a commercial making monkey noises. On Soda Pop Science Day, there was more homemade ice cream along with homemade silly putty for creeping out camp counselors. On the Pop Art Day, straw painting got a bit wilder this time with all the kids, but thankfully the walls didn’t get a new coat of paint. With Summer Camp, there is a day for every kid to love and there are still a few spots open for our last week in August.
Summer Camp: Week 1
Long hot summer days and the smell of Dr Pepper and ice cream in the air can only mean one thing; it is time for summer camp! The first week of camp was fun. This week had only about eight kids but they made it a blast! We had children as far away as Austin attended this week’s camp. On the first day the campers did a Create a Soft Drink Program where they combined 3 different flavors to make their own soda drink.
Popular flavors were grape, pineapple, and green apple. (Thanks to Jell-Craft in San Antonio for getting us some great new flavors!) After they created their soft drink they performed commercials advertising their new product. On the second day, Soda Jerk Academy, the campers made many different sweets using both soda and ice cream. They also jerked their own soda drinks in our soda fountain. We had children turning down ice cream! They left that day with a full stomach. 
The third day was Soda Pop Science. The children learned about water filters and about the science behind soda drinks. One experiment had kids blowing up balloons using baking soda and vinegar. At the end of that day it was time for more ice cream—the old-fashioned way. And they didn’t turn it down this time, when you put that much work into it, you have to eat it. The last day of camp was Pop Art Day. During this day students learned about different types of art and created their own art. They created their own modern art paintings using soda straws and paint. They also created their own picture frame with Dr Pepper bottle caps to place a picture of them to remember their time here.

As a part of my internship, I was ask to pick my favorite collection piece from the museum, photograph it and write about the piece I choose in a blog. I choose a collection of diet 7-Up bottles. Seven-Up is an interesting brand. I remember as a child when I was ill, my mother would give me some Seven-Up to make me feel better. Seven-Up is not exactly a prescribed drug for illness, but it sure tastes more enjoyable then other remedies. The bottles I choose are on the second floor of the museum in the new exhibit, “The Skinny on Diet Drinks.”
Here are some other pictures I’ve taken of the museum’s collection.

Diet vs Regular: More Soda Drinkers Weigh In
Jack McKinney, Executive Director:
"Well, I know my doctor prefers that people drink diet sodas! Personally, I like Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper because it still taste sweet, and Diet A&W Root Beer and Diet Cream Soda because I think they taste similar to their originals."
Jennie Sheppard, Director of Communications:
"I like Diet 7Up and Diet Caffine-Free Dr Pepper, since I don't drink caffine. Also, I think that diet soft drinks have a lighter, crisper taste.
Amber Schneider, Exhibits Intern:
"I rarely drink diet sodas because I don't like the aftertaste, but I sometimes drink Coke Zero. I like cane sugar Dr Pepper a lot because it's really sweet, but my favorite soft drinks are the old fashion flavors like Ginger Ale, Cream Soda and Black Cherry Soda."

July FAN OF THE MONTH!!!
Wow it has been forever since we have done a FAN OF THE MONTH!!! Our July FAN OF THE MONTH is named Reagan Hailey and she is awesome! Read on to find out what Reagan likes about Dr Pepper:
My name is Reagan Hailey and I’m from Idaho Falls, Idaho. My favorite drink of all time is Dr Pepper and since last summer after discovering the Dr Pepper Museum by watching soda ads on YouTube I have been wanting to go there so badly.
Luckily we go to Texas once a year to visit family, but this January I was so sick I needed a lung transplant. We planned on driving from Houston to Waco one day to visit the Museum. And now right before going back home to Idaho I get to do what I have always wanted to do.
I guess the reason why I like Dr Pepper is because of its taste. It’s different from any other soft drink and tastes sweeter. I don’t like colas and root beer. I just plain don’t like them, but I love Dr Pepper. I try to collect Dr Pepper merchandise and I drink it at least once every day. For my whole thirteen years of my life Dr Pepper is the only soda I have really loved. I am kind of addicted to it.

DR PEPPER MUSEUM OPENS "THE SKINNY ON DIET DRINKS"
Lighten up this summer at the Dr Pepper Museum! Do you know the original name of Diet 7Up? Or, what country consumes the most diet soda products per capita? (hint: it’s not the U.S.!). Come find the answers to these questions and learn more about your favorite soda’s low-cal version at the Dr Pepper Museum’s new exhibit, The Skinny on Diet Drinks.
Opening June 28, 2008, The Skinny on Diet Drinks explores the history behind some of the most beloved diet soft drinks, such as early favorite Diet Rite and cult classic Tab, with its iconic pink can. Also, visitors will learn about the different forms of artificial sweeteners and why they are hotly debated.
Each Friday afternoon in July you can try the drinks yourself! At 2pm there will be a blind taste test to find out which diet soda really is most like their original with the Dr Pepper Museum’s Diet Soda Taste Challenge. Who knows, you might even become a diet soda convert…

New Faces
We've got a lot of new faces around here at the museum as you can see. Some of these faces you might see as you wander through the museum. Others rarely see the light of day.
Some of these new faces are our interns that are spending the summer trying to figure out what museum work is all about. Here's a bit about them:
Kailyn
Howdy bloggers! My name is Kailyn and I am the Programs Intern for summer 2008. I am a five foot, red head who looks more like I am sixteen years old than in my twenties. I have lived in Waco for most of my life. I graduated from Waco High School in 2005. I am now a senior studying history from Harding University in Arkansas. One interesting fact about me is that I like to collect old newspapers. One of my oldest newspapers is the news of Roosevelt’s death in 1945. If you really want to find anything else about me, then you should come down and visit the museum today!
Amber
Hi, my name is Amber and I am the Exhibits Intern at the Dr Pepper Museum. I graduated in May 2007 from Baylor University with a BA in History and Archaeology, and I am currently a graduate student at Baylor working towards a Master’s in Museum Studies. I have always been interested in history, so being able to work in a museum is great ( and fun!). This summer I will be helping plan and implement an upcoming exhibit about diet soft drinks, and assisting the Director of Interpretation at the museum with other projects. I am excited to be a part of the Dr Pepper team and look forward to good summer!
Robin
Robin grew up in Georgia and is now attending Baylor where she will soon graduate with a BA in museum studies and anthropology. We found her one cold day in January outside the museum and decided to let her hang around for a while. Now she's a real intern and spends her time rummaging around in the basement inventorying the museum's large bottle collection and making friends with most of the spiders that live there. In the fall she will be attending Texas Tech to study to become a blind rehabilitation specialist.
Each one has a great project to work on this summer and you'll hear from them later on about what they've been doing. Until then look for their shining happy faces around the museum.

Calling all Campers!
We are gearing up for camp in a couple of weeks around here and have some great programs planned. And guess what?! It involves a lot of food! Campers will get to create their very own soft drink, make ice cream, and even make a float or two! It is a great place to learn how to be a real certifiable jerk! Camp is Monday-Thursday from 1:00-4:30 pm the weeks of June 23, June 30, and August 11. So if you have a kid between 8 and 13, sign them up today. Check www.drpeppermuseum.com/News-Events/Special-Events.aspx for more information or just email Jessica at tours@drpeppermuseum.com.

AAM 2008
This is a little late coming, I know, but here are some pics of our fabulous trip to Denver for the 2008 American Association of Museums conference! We learned so much and had a great time all around. The Dr Pepper Museum's video blogs were even featured in a session! To find out more about that make sure you watch the latest video blog! So it snowed the first day we were there, was sunny the entire time we were there, then woke up to nothing but white on our last day. Crazy weather!

I guess you can call Dr. Pepper my soul mate. I can think of a world without it. The world would become flavorless, lonely ,and dark. I love Dr. Pepper till death do us apart.
Here are some pics of Justin and his Dr Pepper rooms!

10-2-4 Club Madness and TAM 2008
Wow, this blog is a two-fer today! Two exciting events happened last month that the Dr Pepper Museum staff always looks forward to: the 10-2-4 Collectors' Club Convention and the Texas Association of Museum conference. Both are great venues to network with other people who love the same things we do!
10-2-4 Collectors' Club Convention 2008
Every year Dr Pepper collectors from all over the United States gather in Waco, TX to share collectibles, information, and just good old fashioned Dr Pepper fun! The Museum always hosts an opening dinner, and this year we got to show everyone our wonderful new collections storage. Joy and Brian did an excellent seminar about drug stores and their relationship with soft drinks, and we are hoping to get the video of that up shortly. Enjoy photos and be sure to check out the club website on the links page of the Museum's website to find out more information about joining the 10-2-4 Collectors' Club!
Texas Association of Museums 2008
TAM always serves as a great professional development opportunity for the staff here at the Museum, and this year it was in beautiful Galveston, TX! Mary Beth was a speaker at a workshop about podcasting that was very well-received and has re-energized her to crank out some more podcasts and video blogs!! Everyone went to informative sessions and even had a little time for beach visits in between. There aren't any pictures of us in sessions because we were too busy listening and taking good notes, but here are a few to let you know what the feel of the trip was like. If you are a museum professional from Texas and are interested in attending this meeting visit TAM's website here. The Dr Pepper Museum's online exhibit Behind the Label: Cadbury Schweppes is actually TAM's featured exhibit right now, so be sure to check it out!
Mary Beth is very excited about the beach!
10-2-4 Collectors' Club Convention 2008
Every year Dr Pepper collectors from all over the United States gather in Waco, TX to share collectibles, information, and just good old fashioned Dr Pepper fun! The Museum always hosts an opening dinner, and this year we got to show everyone our wonderful new collections storage. Joy and Brian did an excellent seminar about drug stores and their relationship with soft drinks, and we are hoping to get the video of that up shortly. Enjoy photos and be sure to check out the club website on the links page of the Museum's website to find out more information about joining the 10-2-4 Collectors' Club!
