Ashley the SATW Traveling Teddy made a day of it recently at Northern Kentucky museums, even watching a drive-in movie in a 1959 Buick Electra at the Behringer-Crawford Museum in Covington, Ky.

Ashley travels for the third-grade class of Meredith Schroeder at St. Joseph’s Consolidated School in Hamilton, Ohio. The Traveling Teddy program is a geography outreach of the Society of American Travel Writers.
After her spin in the Buick, Ashley headed for the Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Ky., to pop in on more than 700 ventriloquist dummies–hey, who you calling a dummy!?!

She made friends with dozens of figures, and tried a bit of ventriloquism herself. Can you hear me now?
