As the clock ticks louder and louder, counting down the minutes till opening day, all our different crews are out and about doing whatever it takes to get the park ready.

The painters are hard at work. It's hard to tell sometimes, because they have such a rollicking good time slapping on that paint. They're a hilarious bunch of guys. (We tease them it's because of the paint fumes...)

This is Don modeling the spring's finest paintwear. (Thanks for not making a face at the camera, Don.)

I asked Rick, our graphic artist, to estimate the amount of paint we go through each season. He had to brush up on his math skills to arrive at his answer...

Up to 1000 gallons a year.

Wow. Color me amazed.
