If you haven’t met her, come to New Orleans this August and really get to know her! She is CoCo, the Colossal Colon. Thanks to an educational grant to UOAA by edgepark arrangements have been made with the exhibit’s owner, The Colon Club, for CoCo to appear at our Conference. She is 40 feet long, 4 feet high and when crawling through her, or looking through one of the many viewing ports you will be able to learn about IBD, polyps, diverticula, hemorrhoids and other intestinal nasties. CoCo travels the country promoting awareness about diseases of the colon and encourages viewers to get regular check ups including periodic colonoscopy exams. She will be open to both UOAA Conference attendees as well as the general public on Thursday August 6th from noon to 5:00 pm; on Friday, the 7th from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm August and on Saturday, the 8th, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm in the Sheraton Hotel’s ground floor Gallery Room.
