If you’re anywhere near Vancouver you still have time to go see Star Trek: The Exhibition at the Pacific Nation Exhibition. It continues its run through September 3rd and has tons of goodies to see. 

The exhibit makes it first-ever Canadian stop at the Pacific National Exhibition, which continues until Sept. 3. There are 46 years of Star Trek history on display, including sets from the series, filming models, props, costumes and more from all five series and 11 feature films.

Star Trek: The Exhibition has been crisscrossing the country for the last couple of years and this weekend it's beaming down to the St. Louis Science Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The exhibition includes a full-size replica of the Enterprise-D bridge, the transporter from J.J. Abrams's 2009 film Star Trek, a replica captain's chair from The Original Series, plus tons of props & costumes form the 45 years of Star Trek. Jackie Mollet, senior director of theatre, retail and exhibitions for the Science Center told the St. Louis Beacon; "Once you go through the exhibition and read a lot of the educational materials, you can see that the science fiction of 'Star Trek' really inspired today's scientists for breakthroughs in technology."

Star Trek The Exhibition has graced "shores" from Philadelphia to San Jose and all points in-between. For the first time in the southeast, though, The Exhibition will launch at Kennedy Space Center starting this Saturday (June 11th, 2011) and is set to complete it's 4-month mission in September.

Star Trek the Exhibition has been all over California that last year.  From San Jose to Hollywood and then to Sacramento.  Now, the Exhibition is heading to the Inland Empire.  Starting June 15th Trek fans in Riverside, CA. will be able to enjoy Trek props and costumes at the Riverside Metropolitan Museum.

The Riverside City Council on Tuesday approved spending $75,000 to secure the first Inland appearance of the exhibit, which includes costumes and props, displays and interactive games. Officials expect it to draw at least 40,000 visitors and bring in $800,000.

From it's original incarnation, Star Trek: The Tour, Star Trek: The Exhibition has been all over the U.S. in the 2 years.  From Hollywood to Philadelphia and several points in-between, Trek fans have been able to see and enjoy artifacts from all of the series and feature films.  Starting May 28th at the Aerospace Museum of California in Sacramento, Trek fans will be able to check out a full scale bridge mock up of the original Enterpise and other various pieces of Trek history. 

Here's an idea, a Warp 11 / No Kill I battle of the bands to launch the exhibition.  Nothing says Trek and Sacramento like a drunken Mugato or hard drinkin' Lincoln.  We would make a special trip to see that.

Star Trek: The Exhibition has been making the rounds across the nation, stopping in great cities like Philadelphia, Detriot, and San Diego.  Next up on the agenda is San Jose. 

This Saturday is the big day for Star Trek The Exhibition Ultimate Wedding Package winners Alissa Mellis and Justin Gruba.  Alissa and Justin we just one couple out of hundreds that entered to win the grand prize of a special Star Trek wedding at the Detroit Science Center.
