And yeah, what's your name?
I'm Groggan.
Hi Groggan nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
So you know here with the truth with we are capturing stories from the community and
you are across the way from us.
What's the stand?
We are Sugar River Kettle Corn.
My stepdad Jim Schultz runs a Kettle Corn and Lemony business.
Okay.
We go to different festivals all over the place, but Atwood's always my jam.
It's my favorite festival to work.
That's awesome, yeah.
Any favorite stories from Atwood or?
Um, just every year I see tapeless ladies and it's always pretty fun.
Yeah, it's one of the few ones where that's allowed.
Yeah, well, unless your Jim said something to one of the girls, he goes, hey, I like your
top.
And she just waved her hand.
Thanks.
That's funny.
So, yeah, so are you from Wisconsin originally?
Yeah, I grew up in Belville, so not too far away like 20 minutes outside of Madison,
but it's my favorite place I've ever lived.
I lived in Costa Rica for a while, I lived down in Florida, but Wisconsin's definitely my
favorite.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Yeah.
So you had a story for us that you wanted to share.
Yeah.
I will, I will see the floor to you.
Thank you.
So it's actually from Costa Rica.
I lived there for six months.
I was in massage therapy school at the time.
And have you ever heard of bioluminescence?
Yes.
Okay.
So, the first day that we were there, we were walking on the beach and we decided to swim
in the water.
And as we were going into the water, we realized that every step we took lit up underneath
us.
So, the bioluminescence was in the water, it was in the sand, and it was almost like
avatar.
I mean, it was so cool.
So, me and my girlfriend, we decided to go skinny dipping.
We took off all our clothes.
You know, we're like connecting with the universe, with the nature and stuff.
And these kids came over and stole our clothes and our keys.
So we had to run back to our campus, bought naked, no keys, and sit there covering our
parts, waiting for the security guard to let us back in.
So, that's my story.
I got caught in a bioluminescent ocean.
So, what was it with the security guards to understand what had happened?
They didn't speak very good English, so they were really confused.
And we didn't really...
Were these tourists?
Yeah.
Pretty much.
These damn tourists.
Are bioluminescent organisms in Wisconsin that you know about?
Not that I've ever seen or heard about, but...
That might be.
I would love to see it.
Yeah.
I've seen fireflies.
I mean, that kind of counts, right?
They like themselves.
I would say so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's natural luminescence.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For sure, man.
Yeah.
Well, thank you so much for sharing that story.
Absolutely.
That's pretty awesome.
So, let me share.
We're gonna look out for bioluminescent stuff here.
Sounds good, man.
Thanks.
Thank you.
