Skeptics and lava lamp savants say a 60ft giant lava lamp will not function. The basic parts to a functionable lava lamp are made of of three, the base that holds a 40 watt frosted appliance light bulb that is inside a reflection cone, a glass container that contains 2 different fluids that do not mix and a cap at the top that hides the water line and an inner cap. The bulb heats the fluid and starts the motion, the sinking, swimming, bubbling and churning action of elements that do not mix. Imitation or knockoff lava lamps won't do it on a 60 ft. scale. Haggerty Enterprises hold the rights to Lava, Giant and other names as well as the copyrights and uses a secret formula in their globe. Instead of looking to bubbles, enterprisers should look at the backdrop you have at Soap Lake. Get on the MAIN ST. program first introduced into the Soap Lake Comp. Plan years back. Why not do that job first and dress up the store fronts ect ect ect ect etc etc etc etc etc....then go for the show created by Blakes's flash or storm...whatever. It is not a good brain-child to start with. Act one comes before act two. Putting a satin ribbon on a wornout sow does not make it more than a wornout sow with a satin ribbon. First step is to spruce up things that count and cleanup what you got, even paint is a swell start for those on a beer budget. Grant County is a depressed area but get those volunteers busy. The City did down at the information Center; looking good. Forget the $25 MIllION DOLLAR GLOB, it's champagne taste. Get on the affordables and wait till after the basic backdrop is spiffed up and more work is done downtown to attract the needed buyers who will bring revenue into the coffer of the City. Most of Soap Lake residents and City are not living on a champagne budget. Realistically, foolish and expensive ideas should be nixed unless a feasibility study will guarantee the Lava Lamp will absolutly fix the the Soap Lake economy. Never see that happen or the Giant Lava Lamp up and running.

My question is, who is the guarantor? Who guarentees this work? Where does replacement parts come from? What is in the secret formula besides wax, water and coloring? Without these bases the project is guano and a $25 Million Dollar bad investment offering no insured return. It will not take $850,000.00 to get that answered. I expect most of the $850,000.00 requested goes toward salaries. Whose may I ask? Making a job out of it or what? So many whats equal no assurance.

This whole project has been secret. I recall a Soap Lake business person that was told about this Lava Goo way back in May. Dr Goo showed the party his website and added "maybe I shouldn't be telling you this." Secret? Only for a hand-picked select few to know about? Well kids the biggest secret yet to come is what the Haggerty Enterprises SECRET LAVA LAMP FORMULA. Don't tell anyone!
