A blustery and rainy evening was the setting for the celebratory opening of the new lakefront Alumni Park at the University of Wisconsin, MadisonThe crowd was not hindered by the weather and with great fanfare they were enthusiastically greeted with the grand entrance of Bucky Badger, the well-loved scamp of a mascot, who arrived on a Harley Davidson motorcycle for the crowning moment they had all been waiting for - the unveiling of the sculpture of … Bucky himself!  The sculpture of Bucky Badger, titled “Well Red” was uniquely created in bronze, stainless steel and stained glass (stained glass by artist Dan Neil Barnes) with the famous ‘W’ jersey illuminated.  It was a great evening! The sculpture was well received by all!  We are very thankful to have had the opportunity for such a fun and uplifting project.  Go Badgers!
