  • Photos and instructions for how to build a one-hour rain garden

  • Trivia game about lakes 
  • Lots of information & gifts for volunteers (t-shirts, picnic bags, booklets about the lake, "Love the lake--don't leaf it" signs, etc... supplies limited)

The skulls and the answers will be at Wingra Park, Madison WI, June 16, 9:30 am-4:00 pm, at the Friends of Lake Wingra  display area, under a canopy.
