This year’s Northern Star Quilt Guild show in the O’Neill Center at WCSU gave me an opportunity to update last year’s data points, although not quite in the way I expected.
The overview:
The left display is rotting out:
The center display seems undamaged:
The right display took a direct hit:
So the middle station refilled 3025 = 10460 – 7435 bottles, roughly eight bottles a day, every day, for a year. Seems like a lot of refilling, doesn’t it?
Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of the other watering hole last year, but here’s what it looks like now:
Overview:
Left:
Center:

Right:

Now, it’s entirely possible I have the two stations reversed, in which case I have numbers for all three displays:
- Left = 242 = 4758 – 4516
- Center = 633 = 8068 – 7435
- Right = 800 = 9689 – 8889
Does a bottle or two a day, every day, for a year, seem more reasonable? Hard to say, so, with a bit of luck, we’ll have more data next year.
For science!
