Covalent Logic's public relations team assisted in producing the highly successful preview party for "Walking with Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular," a theatrical show based on the award-winning BBC television series seen by over 700 million people around the world. The only stop in Louisiana, "Walking with Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular" will premier October 1, 2009, for a one-weekend engagement at the Baton Rouge River Center. On June 21, invited guests attended the Pre-Historic Sneak Peek event enjoying a special video presentation and live performances by a visiting dinosaur. "This was an exclusive preview of the most exciting event coming to Baton Rouge and I can't wait to be the first one to welcome our fossil friends!" says Mayor Kip Holden.



Appearances included "Kip" Holden, Mayor-President of Baton Rouge; Paul Arrigo, CEO of the Baton Rouge Convention and Visitors Bureau; and Dr. Judith Schiebout, paleontologist and associate curator of the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science. Also taking the stage at the Pre-Historic Sneak Peek was a 7-ft baby Tyrannosaurus Rex who gave children and their parents a special performance in a Jurassic Park-style atmosphere. "The event was designed to generate enthusiasm and build expectation for a truly amazing educational and entertaining experience," says Baton Rouge River Center General Manager Todd Mitchell. "'Walking with Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular' will be an incredible event and exceptional tourism opportunity for the city of Baton Rouge, as well as the state."  

The Pre-Historic Sneak Peek was held at 1:30 p.m. on July 21 at the Baton Rouge River Center.
