Fun Facts Module

[webmaster]

I've installed a new module that shows random Fun Facts about the Lakes Region. So far it only appears on the homepage and ice-out page but I'll be adding it to other pages soon.

Right now there are only 24 Fun Facts in the database and I'd like to have at least 50. If you know a fact or piece of information on Lakes Region history, recreation, geography, celebrities or almost anything else that would be interesting to site visitors please post it here.

Here are a few examples I thought of:

The 1991 movie "What About Bob" with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss was set on Lake Winnipesaukee but was actually filmed at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.

Lake Winnipesaukee witnessed the first intercollegiate sporting event in the United States, as Harvard defeated Yale by two lengths in the first Harvard-Yale Regatta on August 3, 1852 at Center Harbor.

The 2006 comedy "Click" has a flashback depicting Adam Sandler as a kid playing on a beach on Lake Winnipesaukee.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy vacationed on Lake Winnipesaukee in August 2007 at the home of former Microsoft Corporation executive Mike Appe in Wolfeboro.

Thanks in advance for any other ideas.
