## Resource

Wildfire smoke from Canada has turned air quality into a major headache across Wisconsin, forcing closures and cancellations everywhere from pools to ice cream shops. Goodman Pool in Madison moved its 20th anniversary bash to July 31st after shutting down July 17th, while Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream postponed their Cone Crawl. Middleton’s Bauman Community Pool canceled morning swim lessons, and Noah’s Ark Waterpark shut down entirely July 16-17 — but ticket holders still get access later this season.
