TOPS ARE TOPS WITH WISCONSIN WOMAN

TOPS ARE TOPS WITH WISCONSIN WOMAN



BURLINGTON, Wis. (Wireless Flash) – A Wisconsin woman has her head spinning around every day – but she doesn’t mind one bit. That’s because Judith Schulz runs the Spinning Top Exploratory Museum, which is a repository for more than 6,000 tops, gyroscopes and dreidels. Some of her spinners blow bubbles while others dance like ballerinas. One can twirl around for seven days straight. Schulz – who locals call the “Top Lady” – has been collecting tops for 25 years and holds regular tours at her top museum. She says kids are fascinated by the scientific principles demonstrated by tops, while adults just want to play with the toys. In fact, Schulz says the hardest part about her job is getting the oldsters to leave when the top tour is over.
