Memory aids.

Four Iowa Scaled Engineering cicada sound modules are used on this train show module. It's set up to be motion activated , and two of the toy cicadas used on rooftops have illuminated eyes. This display will be at an August fair in Essex Junction, VT. It's a bit of humor for the casual observer.
