I've seen quite a few this year. The lake froze over in December. But when it opened up in January, we began seeing eagles.

That's in line with normal December to January trends.

There are a lot of good things in it.

The ownership of all recreational vehicles has increased, and as they grow in popularity, the areas to use them on has not grown. We just want to make people who enjoy these are responsible.

Although we are on the road for much of November, December and part of January, if we can pick up some early road wins it will certainly help to have home-court advantage down the stretch, especially having five league games at home and traveling for just three in February and March. With the strength of every team in our league, there is no letting down and every game has to be treated with a championship effort.

Our sales dropped $3,400 in November, $7,600 in December, $10,000 in January, $27,000 in February and $27,000 in March. None of my other locations have seen a drop in business - they are each averaging 2 percent growth.
