If I had been born rich instead of good looking, I would have ridden more ferraris and a little less tail.

We need a gymnastics gym in this town. Start a gymnastics club and have meets here. That will draw many hundreds of dollars. The closet teams otherwise are only Austin and New Richland which are just high school. Owatonna is the closet gymnastics gym and club.
Gymnastics is an expesive sport and the people usually invovled are willing to spend lots to keep it going and running. To compete with the other gyms in the area like Rochester and the cities could bring some great money to town. On a days of multiple meets (when you compete against many teams at once) like regions, state or nationals. IF they come from up north they need a place to stay, places to eat and shop. These are usually weekend excursions. It could bring money to this area and maybe put us on the map !!
I know I did it for 18 years. God I miss it, help, I need my gym. Any ideas on how to get it going?

Another it takes money to make money idea.  I guess you need to approach a business in need of a tax write off to support it. Anyone out there with money to burn?

Worth every penny too, because rich guys wanna marry gymnast girls.
Whatever your sport...any sport is good to get you moving.
Only one problem. Very few poor, midwestern women folk have money to burn for that, let alone weekly Walmart reciepts...LOL 
How many people enrolled would it take to make it worth the while? How much would they have to spend?
Sounds like the only way it'd happen in these backwoods is one way. Some crusty pervert wants to watch young girls train in leotards or something.
I didn't just get off the banana boat. I've been living with these small town freaks for a long time...

funny post minnow but your logic is accurate.
Albert Lea is a poor meat packing town, until that changes don't expect any fancy gymnastics center, Red Lobster or Best Buy. There is little to no disposable income in the area.
Isn't Wallyworld the biggest employer in town? That says it all right there.
Why are Mankato & Rochester (maybe even Owatonna) growing by leaps and bounds? It all starts and ends with good jobs.
They have them, Albert Lea does not. Until that changes, Albert Lea will keep going the direction it is going.

A gymnastics gym isn't only for adults you actually have to start at a young age. I started when I was three.
You need at least 7 to 10 gymnasts to start a team but you will also want at least 5 for back up or if one gymnast isn;t good on one event and someone else is they will compete instead of the other. You can many many people in gymnastics.
When I was in it varying on how much I went it cost between $80 to $120 a month. The rates are based on skill level and how much time they want to spend practicing and how successful they want to be! Anybody can make it to the Nat'l level or beyond just depends on your dedication to the sport!
I know there are many families that drive to Owatonna two, three or more times a week to take their children to class for a couple of hours. That is wasted money in Owatonna and on gas and if the families eat up there or even go shopping at Target while their child is practicing. See lots of money that could remain in our community.
Anyone know any perverts.............or rich old guys?

They used to have a gymnastics program here, but ended it quite a few years ago. Stated that the insurance rates were too high. At the time, I had the option of going to Austin. Don't know if they still have gymnastics program available.
