FAST and Fascinating - Blog Post #5 Weekend in Viroqua

     That Saturday afternoon in Southwest Wisconsin back in early June, we made one last stop before heading back to the Airbnb. And this was one of the most remarkable places I’ve been to.

I read about it on the “Only in Wisconsin” blog site several months ago and immediately know that this was a place I needed to visit some time. 

It’s the graveyard of the fiberglass molds used by Fiberglass Animals, Shapes, and Trademarks (FAST) on the east of Sparta. 

What an absolutely fun place to wander around, even though the temperatures outside were pushing ninety. 




And let the imagination wander as well. 
Found this pirate doing the plank (after maybe walking the plank), so I had to join him. Argh. 
While Hubby was looking for a fly ball. 
We decided to work on the Christmas card picture. 
As I was pounding Santa's drum, and Hubby was picking the poor pony's nose. Argh, again.
