opening night at Lambeau vs. the Vikings
The Packers were kind enough to let us have a display space on Lambeau property to help Special Olympics raise money for their athletes. To be clear, Kwik Trip commissioned this bike, 2 Wheel Films is building it and transporting it to the events, and Special Olympics is providing the volunteers at the display events to help sell raffle tickets. All proceeds go to help fund Special Olympics events 
We have space at three games this year. The first one was opening night against the Vikings. We were in front of the Resch Center, right across from a practice field. Quite an experience! With a 6:00 CST start time, we showed up at about 2:00. The crowd was growing fast and the festivities had already started. Great people across the board. 
I was surprised at how many Vikings fans were there. Many of them purchased raffle tickets. I guess Vikings fans are human after all. I saw license plates from Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan and a few from Ontario. It just goes to show how popular the Packers are. All those out-of-state plates also showed me that here in the Midwest, once you get beyond the Vikings and the Packers, especially to the west, you really need to go a long ways to find another pro team.
Special Olympics puts on an event every summer in which Special Olympics athletes can participate. The smiles this puts on faces is something special to behold. All of the proceeds from the raffle tickets that are sold against this bike will go to support the Special Olympics chapter here in Wisconsin and their efforts in putting on this annual event here in Wisconsin.

2 Wheels Meets 6 Wheels
Another great day at Camp Randall Stadium! Although, it is a bit early for many, everyone is still excited to get out and watch the Badgers! Thanks to everyone that bought a raffle ticket today! Afterwards, I wheeled Bucky's ride over to the Fire Station next door, for some pictures. 
No Dalmation though. I thought fire stations had to have a Dalmation??? They do have the next best thing though - this is the only station that has worked Bucky Badger into their emblem - fitting given that this station is right across the street from the main entrance to Camp Randall.
Thanks to Javier Teniente an engineer (??) on Engine #4 for sending in this picture!
