The 10 Hour Power Shower
Strangest fundraiser ever? We may never know… but Kevin Cline and friends sure got our attention with this one. You simply have to watch! You may be wondering… Was this a waste of water? Maybe. But, here’s a stunner. A 10 hour shower only uses about 1,500 gallons of water. That’s less than […]
