Keeping the crowd 'cooooool'
  A water fight on Wisconsin Avenue following the July 4th parade has been entertaining and drenching the crowds for over 90 years. 
The rules are simple: knock down or incapacitate the other team with a stream of water flowing at 120 p.s.i. through a 2 1/2" diameter hose.  
  And while the waterfights are now staged between two squads from the Tomahawk Fire Department, there once was "spirited" competition against other fire departments for possession of a traveling trophy or cash prizes. The New Glarus and Merrill Fire Departments are well remembered for the toughness of their teams.
