LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.- Imagine it’s the year 2076.<\/p>\n

An excited crowd has gathered somewhere in the Lehigh Valley to open a time capsule that was sealed 50 years earlier.<\/p>\n

The lid is cracked open, and inside is… what?<\/p>\n

A box of Crayola crayons? A Musikfest mug? A Martin guitar pick?<\/p>\n

All of the above? None of the above?<\/p>\n

If you’d like to have a say in what makes the cut for a special \u201cMade in Lehigh Valley\u201d time capsule, now’s the time to weigh in.<\/p>\n

The time capsule was announced during the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) annual meeting last month.<\/p>\n

Working alongside Bethlehem’s\u00a0National Museum of Industrial History, LVEDC wants to create a snapshot of what life is like right now in 2026\u00a0with a collection of items representing products and experiences made here.<\/p>\n

To offer a suggestion, simply fill out the form here<\/a>. The submission period ends May 1.<\/p>\n

Selected items will be featured in a public exhibition at the National Museum of Industrial History beginning July 4, as part of the region\u2019s celebration of America 250, LVEDC said.<\/p>\n

The “Made in Lehigh Valley” time capsule will be sealed later this year and remain closed for 50 years.<\/p>\n

By that time, America will be celebrating its 300th birthday.<\/p>\n
