Question:

I have to dress up for this history thing about the "Virginia Dare Bridge" and I have no clue on what to do ?

Okay well, my teacher said that it is called a walking advertisment, and I asked him about what I should dress up as to "represent" the Virginia Dare Bridge in North Carolina. And he suggested that, if I could find a construction hat and mabey a tool belt or something, that to just act like I "built" the bridge. But I don't know, I was kind of aiming for something else, like not as strange and embarrassing (we have to do a presentation for it, INFRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS) *freaking out* but i'm not so sure what.

Any Suggesstions that are creative but nothing "dramatic and embarrassing" though, would be VERY VERY VERY HELPFUL !!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION !!!

Here are some things i read about the bridge.

There's nearly 44,000 cubic yards of deck concrete-that's enough concrete to cover 278 basketball courts.

he bridge provides a splendid view of the Croatan Sound and from it you can also see Roanoke Island from end-to-end.

Because of the high quality of the wetlands along the Croatan Sound, DOT bridged the entire coastal marsh-that's 3,000 feet of wetlands.

Over these areas, the highway runoff is piped into a separate basin, which keeps the marshes clean.

These areas serve as nurseries for many fish and crustacean species as well as nesting areas for many native birds.

As a matter of fact, two pairs of ospreys have already built nests on nearby trees.

As you drive over the bridge, you may even be able to see them.
