Today's Weather Trivia:
1952: The manager of the Red River Exhibition in Winnipeg, MB, pleaded with
the famed sky dancers to refrain from climbing a 40-m pole to perform their
aerial dance. But aerialists Benny and Betty said, "No!" As a 40-km/h wind
swept overhead, a packed house watched the famed aerialists and show-ending
fireworks. The show went on without a hitch.
