National Weather Service at the 2016 Wisconsin State Fair

The National Weather Service wishes to thank all those who stopped by our exhibit at the 2016 Wisconsin State Fair. Thousands of people visited to talk about the services we provide, the weather forecast, examine the latest radar imagery, or take a look at the simulated tornado display.

Many visitors shared a weather story, or complimented the NWS on our products and services. (There were also a few complaints!)

We raffled off a Midland All-Hazards NOAA Weather Radio each day of the fair.

Our lucky winners were:

Thursday, August 4th	Debbie Czerniak	Muskego, WI
Friday, August 5th	Deanne Olson	Delafield, WI
Saturday, August 6th	Diane Wylesky	Doylestown, WI (Columbia County)
Sunday, August 7th	Julie Savaglia	Milwaukee, WI
Monday, August 8th	Laura Salcido	West Bend, WI
Tuesday, August 9th	Ken Hoppe	West Allis, WI
Wednesday, August 10th	Joe Miller	Franklin, WI
Thursday, August 11th	Sharon Yarnot	Milwaukee, WI
Friday, August 12th	Angelyn Woodley	Milwaukee, WI
Saturday, August 13th	Mary Kaul	Rubicon, WI (Dodge County)
Sunday, August 14th	Linda Kent	Menomonee Falls, WI

The National Weather Service wishes to thank the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for allowing us the space for our exhibit in the Natural Resources Park.

We also wish to thank the Wisconsin Division of Emergency Management for donating the weather radios, and our fine friends at SciJinks for donating children's stickers and temporary tattoos.

We hope to see you next year!
