Summary
Burkburnett Development Corporation director Travis Haggard said the Wheels of Wonder museum secured a $5,000 grant for a mobile learning lab and met with Hot Wheels marketing officials who offered endorsement and outreach support; BDC also flagged a Route 281/centennial marketing opportunity.
Travis Haggard, director of the Burkburnett Development Corporation, updated commissioners on Wheels of Wonder progress and outreach. He said the museum received a $5,000 grant for purchase of a mobile learning lab trailer and described face‑to‑face meetings with Hot Wheels marketing staff (Jennifer Kobayashi and Alexandra Rice) that resulted in endorsement and potential social media support.
Haggard reported an open house scheduled for June 29 and described progress on display build‑out; he said the BDC is working to inventory 38 pallets of collection currently in temporary storage and is seeking a permanent location. He also suggested tying longer‑term marketing efforts to the Highway 281 centennial in five years to boost tourism and awareness.
