The official state WHAT?

I’ll bet you didn’t know Wisconsin has 21 state symbols.

There’s a state dog, bird, tree, fish, rock, mineral, soil and insect to name a few. But there is no state amusement park ride. Minnesota doesn’t have one, either, but a state lawmaker there wants one and she wants it to be the Tilt-a Whirl.

She might (that’s might with a small “m”) have a point. Over 50 kindergartners have asked her to do it (Can’t say no to the kiddies, can we?) and the Tilt-a-Whirl was created in their hometown.

What would Wisconsin’s state amusement park ride be? I’m not suggesting we clutter up the Blue Book any further, but if we had to choose, I’d have to say the Wild Mouse.

No longer around, it’s true, but that ride struck fear into anyone whoever gathered eneough courage to get aboard at the old Muskego Beach amusement park.



THE VOTE IS NO APRIL 3
