Huntsville, Ala. - An estimated thousands of people came to Bridge Street Town Centre for "Behind the Gates of Redstone Arsenal" May 15 and left with a better understanding of what some of the many federal entities in Huntsville do each day.

"Behind the Gates of Redstone Arsenal" featured about a dozen federal entities - including multiple Army entities, FBI, NASA, and the Defense Intelligence Agency's Missile and Space Intelligence Center. The exhibits and activities were spread throughout the center.

"We really wanted to try and reach the biggest audience," said Ken Barnett, president of Analytical Services, Inc., and a member of Leadership's Federal Group, the organization coordinating the event. "We thought being outdoors - the way Bridge Street Town Centre is - lends itself to the exhibits we have scattered around the complex."
