Virtual Badger Talk from West Bend, WI: "Backyard Bugs"
August 19, 2020
This public, virtual talk is hosted by West Bend Public Library. https://www.westbendlibrary.org/ A link will be posted when available.
"Beneficial Backyard Bugs"
Wisconsin is home to 20,000+ insect species—the vast majority of which provide benefits to humans. In this presentation, we’ll discuss the many ways in which insects help us out and also take a look at how common these beneficial creatures can be in our own area.
Patrick (PJ) Liesch is a statewide entomology specialist and director of the University of Wisconsin Insect Diagnostic Lab (IDL). Every year, the IDL handles over 2,400 insect identification requests from Wisconsin’s farmers, private industry, university and government agencies, the general public, and other groups. PJ also provides entomology-related outreach throughout the state, including regular appearances on Wisconsin Public Radio.

Virtual Event: Abraham Lincoln and Thanksgiving
November 07, 2020
Adults and children alike are invited to come hear a first-hand account from President Abraham Lincoln himself about how our national, annual observance of the Thanksgiving holiday came to be established in the fall of 1863, in the midst of the Civil War. Mr. Lincoln tells how the influential writer and editor Sarah Josepha Hale, author of the nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, tirelessly advocated for the establishment of such a day. He reads his 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation – which would be the first of an unending series of such presidential proclamations which has continued to our own day – and explains its words in the context of the Civil War and the nation’s history up to that point. He also shares a little bit about his own personal story. Presented by Kevin Wood, aka "Abraham Lincoln". Program will be via Zoom. More information coming soon.
