Who are Trav and Hairgel?

Trav just turned ten years old and loves baseball, football and video games. He is VERY active, likes to dress 'cool', likes going to Alabama football games, the beach, and plays a mean game of golf! He lives with his Father and Sister and has appointed himself the 'man of the house'.  He's his Dad's best friend:)

He is a fourth grade student in Ms. Water's class at Snow Rogers Elementary in Gardendale, Alabama. (About 20 miles north of Birmingham).  The class has a project Called 'Travelmates' where each student sends a travelmate (stuffed animal), travel bag, ID Card, and Diary to someone who will forward it to someone else, etc, etc. 

Hairgel is Trav's Travelmate and he is a red stuffed dog who looks like a cartoon character and is named 'Hairgel' since Trav likes to gel his hair and look cool!

Hairgel is on a journey and may arrive at your home soon!

Now, What do I do with Hairgel if I get him?

Trav would like you to fill out Hairgel's diary, mail a postcard or email back to Ms. Waters telling us a little about yourself, and what you and Hairgel did. By the way, Hairgel loves to pose for pictures! So send us a picture of him (snail mail or email) and yourself. Be creative in your photo! A picture of Hairgel with the White House in the background, or Super Bowl, or a Walla-Walla, Washington street sign!  

What do I do with him then?

Just send him to someone you know who will take care of him and tell them to do the same you did. Don't keep him too long!  By the way, Hairgel likes souvenirs so if you have something he likes from his visit, place it in his tote bag!
