KINGDOM OF THE DINOSAURS Coloring Contest

May 25, 1987.  I thought this coloring contest was appropriate since my nephew decided on dinosaurs to decorate the baby's room.  "Be one of the first to enter Knotts' Berry Farm's NEW KINGDOM OF THE DINOSAURS!"  A coloring contest for children ages 6-9.  I went to Knotts' Berry Farm with my parents when I was a little girl but there were no dinosaurs way back in the late 1960's.
