Bucky Badger
The original Wisconsin Badgers mascot, in the 1890s, was a real badger that was too vicious to control. After a few frightening escapes, the badger was sent to live at the Henry Vilas Zoo. Today, Bucky (whose full name is Buckingham U. Badger) attends all major sporting events for the UW Wisconsin Badgers. At football games he often directs Section O to dance with the band, or pretends to fight with other mascots. Remember to bring your camera and get your child’s photo taken with Bucky Badger.

The Bassmeister - Fishing for Laughs

Plus the Bassmeister uses fun visual props and even gets visits from several of his puppet friends. And watch for The Bassmeister in the crowd throughout the Expo with his companion Mojo the fish!
