2011 Season is Here!

The Wisconsin Dells 2011 season officially begins Memorial Weekend.  People are already beginning to arrive for their 3 day weekend.  We have had a slow start to spring but the weekend weather looks good except for cloudy/rainy on Saturday.  The temps get warmer as the weekend progresses with Sat. at 73, Sunday a sunny 76 and Monday a sunny 86!

A couple ideas come to mind especially for tomorrow.  The Dells has entered the world of full service Spas. I will tell you of two.  First being "Spa Del Sol" at Chula Vista resort. http://www.chulavistaresort.com/amenities/spa-del-sol/?utm_source=dells.com&utm_medium=Link&utm_content=Spa%2B-%2BHotspot&utm_campaign=Dells.com

The second which is a couple blocks from downtown and one us locals use--(this one I can give my personal thumbs up).  "La Petite Salon and Spa"

Coming Soon

All new Dells blog for the 2011 tourist season. Already local business's are preparing for what they hope will be a great season.
Much has changed in the past couple of years--many "out of business" and for "Sale" signs can be seen as the economy has taken its toll here.

However, the natural beauty and resources of the Dells remain. Allowing the Dells to continue to be among the best mid-west tourist destinations.
See you soon............

Merry Christmas

Some would say that it is Christmas everyday here in the Dells.  If you want snow--we have it. If you would like to forget winter--we can do that too at anyone of our numerous resorts with their indoor water parks.

Let me also remind you of the Wisconsin Dells Flake Out Festival coming in Jan. 21-24. I have given a link for those who want more information.

HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE HOLIDAY........

Get a Flu Shot.....

Last week the schools in the Dells were shut down due to many kids absent with flu or colds and a few confirmed Swine flu cases. Nearly 29% of high school students were out sick.

Last Monday -10/5 the school began sending kids home who presented with any coughing or sneezing etc...and then by noon the county decided to simply close all schools down for a week.

School resumed this past Monday 10/12 and many children did not return due to illness. It is being stressed to keep kids home who are sick even if it is the common cold.  From the "Dells Events"

"According to District Administrator Chuck Whitsell, absences were still high on Monday. At the high school, 10 percent of students were gone, 16 percent were gone from the middle school, 19 percent were absent from Spring Hill Elementary School, 17 percent were absent from Lake Delton Elementary School and 16 percent were absent from Neenah Creek Elementary School.

Whitsell said the district does not know whether students are absent for colds, seasonal flu or H1N1, but wasn’t surprised by the rise in percentages of students absent in the elementary schools compared with Tuesday last week."

Whats Up in the Dells?
