Crazy Wells Ranch

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I'm still working very hard to get Crazy Wells Ranch going. I have put up a shop on Etsy and the profits from all the items I sell will be used to help pay architects for the master plan design of the park. Then I will have something from which to develop a financial plan that can be presented to potential investors. For those of you who don't know what Etsy is, it is a site where artists and designers can sell their work. Mine is at www.etsy.com/shop/factory3d. I hope you will support Crazy Wells Ranch by buying from my shop. All the profits will be used to further develop our park. Thanks for your continued support.

I’m not a writer so I don’t make as many posts as I would like. And since I’m the only person currently working on this project, I can’t delegate the job to someone else. So forgive me for not posting more often.
I just read in the Index about the Baker Hotel project and how it is still on hold. While I agree with the general premise that restoration of this historic old building would be a great economic boost for the city, I think there needs to be an initial step that would spark this resurrection. I believe increasing tourism to Mineral Wells with a great destination venue like Crazy Wells Ranch Water Park would be a great catalytic project towards that ultimate restoration goal. With the increased tourism there would be a greater demand for hotel rooms and meeting and convention spaces making it easier to promote the resurrection of the Baker to investors. Granted several million dollars would have to be raised to build the park but it would only be about a third as much as would be needed for the Baker restoration. With some creative real estate investing, parcels of land around the park could be sold or leased at a premium to companies that would greatly benefit from being next to a water park thus helping to recoup some of the investment capital. Fees could also be charged to food and drink vendors as well as many other types of merchants for rights to sell in the park. There are many other ways this park could create revenue, too numerous to put in this post. Believe me, I don’t want to compete with the restoration of the Baker, I want to figure out a way to accelerate its refurbishment since I own property nearby and it would increase its value substantially. After all, if you ask a kid if he or she would rather stay in a historic hotel or go to the hottest new water park in the country, I think you know what the answer would be.
