Edifying fact for Thursday...from the pages of Greasy Rider

Tourists spend a half-billion dollars each year between September and April at the indoor water parks of the Wisconsin Dells. That's right, a half-billion dollars to travel to the middle of Wisconsin in the winter. Someone desrves to go into the marketing hall of fame for that one. Also, it takes 15.7 million gallons of water to fill these parks--enough to satisfy the water demands of the entire city of Green Bay for a day. Page 79.
