Science & Sniffs

At the start of November the other half and I volunteered again for the discovery building. However, this Saturday was extra special as the state was hosting the Wisconsin Science Festival 2017, with the discovery building being the main hub of activities. Although a lot of the festivities are aimed towards the next and younger generations it does host an array of interesting activities. We helped out with directing guests around the festival on the busy Saturday morning. For us it was a relaxing affair which included handing out promotional items and talking to families, all of which builds to experience and more so a good CV (Resume).

Although we didn’t get to sample a lot of the festival this year, it is a well recommended affair. It is an inspirational event that stretches over four days. It included demonstrations, lectures and tours from different specialities of science. As I said before as well it is across the state with events in Milwaukee and Stevens Point to name a few. It is thrilling to see so many local business involved in helping to make this festival happen as is can truly have the power to make a positive difference in their lives and for society. So mark your calendars next year for this annual autumn (fall) event as it is fun for all ages!

The other event we got up to recently was the Wisconsin Dog Fair at the Alliance event centre. YES, hundreds of dogs of many breeds were there and my wife especially was in awe. The busy event at the event centre was half filled with business selling products and breeders showing off their prized dogs. From an Alaskan Husky to a West Highland Terrie, all the dogs were on their best behaviour as they enjoyed the company of others and pranced around for the display show. Our favourite breed, which we hope to get in the future is a Great Dane, with that said we have also been won over by the cute and playful nature of breeds like Vizslas. Although you were not allowed to bring your own pets into the arena there was plenty to see and pet, to make your own dog jealous as you returned home.

The only problem with this event was that it did not seem big enough as their could have been more exhibitors involved. The event was brought to you by the kind people of Badger Kennel Club INC. This company is a community outreach programme aiming to help owners and their dogs have a fulfilling life by offering advice and support. As ever I would recommend both the show and the club to anyone who is going to or does care for a dog, or two, or five, because one is not enough. So hopefully next year there will be more breeds and clubs as you can never have enough dogs!

Also we got some super Halloween bargains, our life revolves around clearance items, and we don’t feel guilty as it gives us a few decorative and consumable items for the dark weekends/following year. He says eating his Easter candy, nom nom. Until next time happy holidays!
