From The Vancouver Sun:
Travelling animatronic dinosaur exhibit going under the hammer in Langley next month
Don’t be surprised if you spot a 72-foot roaring brontosaurus, a life-size Tyrannosaurus rex or a fearsome velociraptor outside a Metro Vancouver home or business over the next few months.
On Aug. 6, Langley’s Able Auctions will be selling an enormous animatronic dinosaur and fossil collection that was at one point part of an international touring exhibition.
“There’s just about every type of dinosaur,” said Jeremy Dodd, CEO of Able Auctions. “We also have a whole pile of authentic and original fossils and all the equipment that’s related to putting on a show like this.”
Dodd said there were between 70 and 80 of the animatronic dinos, which move and make sounds.
Do not have room for a full Tyrannosaurus but maybe a smaller one would be nice to greet the tourists as they scream along our 35MPH country road at double the limit.
Some of the other stuff is gorgeous - nice fossils. Auction site.
