One more hour for fun!Daylight Saving Time is a surefire sign that
spring has to eventually come to Missouri. At 2a.m. local time on March 8, clocks "spring forward"one hour.
The amount of daylight hours will grow longerwhile the night time hours are shorter. So for thosewho prefer sleep - you are out of luck.
Daylight savings time was first used by Germanyduring World War I as a way to conserve energy. The
goal was to take advantage of the day-light hours in spring by moving an ad-ditional hour of daylight from themorning to the evening and not lettingpeople sleep through the first few hoursof sunshine. America didn't adopt a pol-icy until 1966, except for Arizona and
Hawaii.When your sleep-wake and light-dark cycles are out of
sync, it can make you feel tired and downright grumpy.In winter, I simply want to wrap up in a blanket and goto bed much earlier than normal. Maybe it’s my age. ButI, for one, will welcome the extra hour of evening day-light. Longer daylight hours allow for more choices ofplaces to go, things to do and people to see. This month,Indianapolis is the chosen city for St. Patrick’s Day activ-ities. See our feature of the month article on pages 6 and7. So let’s go paint the town “green” and then try someof the different offerings listed in this issue.
With a little bit of luck from the Irish, who knows?You just might find your pot o’ gold at the end of yourrainbow - a rewarding getaway weekend to the St. LouisReinnascance Fest in May. All you have to do is fill outthe FREE monthly getaway form on the home page ofour website.
And if you're not a fan of DST and the longer daysahead, you'll just have to wait until November 1. That'swhen we "fall back" one hour to regular time and talkabout those cozy winter nights in front of the fireplace,drinking hot chocolate or watching a good movie. Untilthen, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

ZIONSVILLE - Fanimation, aprominent high-end ceiling fanmanufacturer, was founded in1984 by Tom Frampton inPasadena, California, afterworking over ten years in theceiling fan industry.
Fanimation relocated to Indi-ana in 1994, where it has seensubstantial growth. By 2003,Fanimation had built a new fa-cility in the Bennett Technology Park inZionsville, Indiana.
Fanimation has a two pronged approach inbringing product into the the market place.First are its original designs and secondlyreintroducing antique fans with modernsafety and control features; this approach hasplaced Fanimation in a league of its own, butas you might image, it’s the antique fans thatlead to a museum.

some of the earliest battery powered fans,water powered fans, steam powered fans,belt and pulley driven fans, alcohol poweredfans, wind up fans, electric hand held fans,ceiling fans, wall fans, desk fans, pedestalfans, rail car fans and fans that don't evenlook like fans. The museum contains hun-dreds of hand held fans (the type you wavein your face) that feature advertising frommanufactures, retailers, politicians and
movie stars. * The Museum is hosted by Fani-
mation, Inc. a premier ceiling anddesk fan manufacturer. TomFrampton an avid antique fan col-lector joined the Antique Fan Col-lectors Association (AFCA). The
