demographics has changed significantly since the Snow Machine Craze of the 70's and 80's. Union Jobs with extra disposable income and free time. Now,Joe Six Pack has to bust his hump with two jobs and Climate Change is for real in the Upper Midwest. How many open Winters have we had in the last 20 years,more than those with enough snow to go Sledding.

Knowing Textron,most of Thief River will be on unemployment within two years. Think Milwaukee Tool and Remington Tool.
