Maryland Attractions Join TripKid Souvenir Stamp Program

Seventeen Maryland museums and tourist attractions are providing free keepsake stamps or stickers to visitors through the TripKid Souvenir Stamp Program. The nationwide program developed by Game Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: GTKN) currently has more than 120 member attractions in ten states.

The souvenir stickers and stamps are free to visitors who collect them in special passports or ordinary notebooks as reminders of past adventures. Like "real" passport stamps, each image represents a special moment in a person's life. Souvenir passports are available for purchase at some member attractions and on-line at www.tripkids.com.

Membership in the TripKid Souvenir Stamp Program is free. Member attractions are listed on the company's website, www.tripkids.com, along with an image of their stamp. The website also provides child-oriented travel information, activities and advice, program enrollment information and TripKid product information.

"Maryland attractions are very enthusiastic about the TripKid program, and look forward to helping visitors collect the unique souvenirs," said Game Technologies' Executive VP, LeeAnne Poole. "We encourage everyone to make a resolution to save travel memories through souvenir stamps, photographs or journals. The effort will be a life-long gift to yourself."

¨ Annapolis: Chesapeake Children's Museum
¨ Baltimore: USS Constellation, Top of the World Observation Level, Pride of Baltimore, Phoenix Shot Tower, Carroll Museum, Baltimore Public Works Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore Maritime Museum, Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum, Baltimore Civil War Museum, Fells Point Maritime Museum, Maryland Historical Society Museum, Baltimore Streetcar Museum
