Faribault Parks Director Paul Penansky stops by the KDHL studio today for AM Minnesota.

Penansky told me the other day the Faribault Family Aquatic Center was ahead of schedule in terms of attendance in June and July but a rainy August put a damper on its profitability.

Hopefully Paul will be able to provide some numbers for today's show, which starts at 9:30AM.

I asked him why the pool doesn't stay open through Labor Day and we will hear his answer on today's program. If you have any questions, please text them to (507) 838-5233.

We are blessed to have such a nice facility in Faribault, and it's hard to believe it's been 14 years since it's construction.

I'm sure many of you remember the White Sands Pool that was here when I arrived in Faribault in 1987. A couple of years later it was shut down and it took a long time to replace it.

The Faribault Family Aquatic Center has fun activities for everyone with a number of amenities including:

  • Two large Flume Slides
  • Drop Slide
  • One-meter Diving Board
  • Climbing Walls
  • Zero-depth entry
  • Lily Pad Walk
  • Kid Elephant Slide
  • Interactive water features
  • Water basketball and volleyball
  • Sand Pit play area
  • Concession stand
  • Family changing rooms

Did you know you can rent the pool facility for a party? What a great idea for a birthday party for one of your children or grandchildren.

I'll try and get more details on today's show. If you can't tune in at 9:30AM, go to our YouTube channel and watch the show: www.youtube.com/user/KDHLRadio
