Limnology at WI State Fair 2014

The Center for Limnology was part of the University of Wisconsin day at the WI State Fair on August 6, 2014. Enjoy pictures of staff and volunteers excited to talk about limnology as well as sites of the fair -including fair foods (on a stick).

It was a beautiful morning as we headed to the State Fair at 6am

Center Assistant, Kelly O'Ferrell, started in April and, in her own words, "can talk Secchi and Van Dorn 'till the cows come home" after a day at the State Fair!

Hmmmm...

Elephant Ears & Funnel Cakes

We heard wonderful polkas all morning and most of the afternoon from across the street -- and a hunka-burning- love - Elvis - for our last hour.
