On Monday, July 2, Cravath Lakefront Park was the scene of an unusual event: The wonderful Warhawk Pep Band and Willie Warhawk played to a large crowd, followed by 20 members of the famous Badger Marching Band, who performed with Bucky Badger. Over 1,000 people were on hand to hear the music, feel the high spirits, and witness the fun.
Was that Willie dancing with the Badger Band? Was that Bucky with Chancellor Telfer?

Willie Warhawk was the first to jump in and be playful, to the crowd's delight.
Badger pride. Jim Caldwell, President of First Citizens State Bank, is a Madison alum. The bank sponsored the Badger visit and Commercial Bank sponsored the Warhawks.
Interim Chancellor Telfer is proud to show Badger/Warhawk spirit!
Festival co-chair (and Madison alum) Kristine Zaballos is proud to pose with Bucky... but says it was more fun to polka with Willie!
