Our cherished local tradition, the Waterski Show, harking back to the days of Cypress Gardens, is teetering on the brink of being written out of the script of LEGOLAND Florida's schedule. Winter Haven, Florida, known globally as the Water Ski Capital of the World, may soon lose its only year-round water ski show. For those of us who grew up here, viewing the Cypress Gardens ski show is woven into the fabric of our childhoods, an experience shared with friends and family.

Moreover, the show is not merely a personal tradition; it serves as a beacon for Florida's rich history and a testament to Winter Haven's unique imprint on the water ski world. This unique spectacle of stunts and acrobatics has been a draw for tourists and locals alike, contributing to the regional economy and reputation. Its potential cancellation scheduled for the end of this month, therefore, raises concerns about the preservation of our idyllic past and the sustainability of our city's heritage.

Our collective voice is needed now, more than ever, to implore LEGOLAND Florida to reconsider this decision, to keep the waterski show alive, and to safeguard it for generational enjoyment. Let us communicate to LEGOLAND our plea for preservation. The waterski show is an integral part of our community and our identity. Join us in this urgent call to action; sign this petition today and help us ensure that the splendor of the waterski shows keeps glimmering on the beautiful horizon of Winter Haven, Florida.
