It was a blazing hot and humid day for a grand re-opening ceremony at the Wisconsin Information Travel Center on I-90 just outside Beloit. The governor was there and a LOT of protesters; you couldn't hear anything and it was a circus zoo like atmosphere. Visit Beloit invited me to come and to get some photos, or I'd probably not have gone.
The Wisconsin Travel Information counter, staffed by local volunteers, just after the ribbon cutting ceremony ended and most of the Scott Walker protesters exited. Hope all those cake pops found a good home. Thanks to everyone - EVERYONE (you know who you are) - for all you did to make this a great day for Wisconsin and Beloit!
(Despite my non-partisan ambivalence, I'm glad to have experienced the Wisconsin political unrest first-hand. The protesters didn't win me over... their tactics seem childish. I'm still not a fan of the details - particularly the environmental ones - in the radical changes in Walker's budget. I'll never support extremism by either side and that seems our only choice in Wisconsin these days. Sad that.)

There has been a Kewpee's in Racine since 1926. It was one of the earliest franchises, and at one time there were over 200 Kewpees in the Midwest and East. Now just 5 are left, and this is the only Wisconsin one. The chain is named after the Kewpie doll, the inside has a collection of everything Kewpie-related.
Getting organized: Volunteers begin to set up the equipment that will be used to treat those in need in north-central Wisconsin.

Madison, Wisconsin
You'll notice the protestors and their signs. The state senate and Governor had been working on a very controversial state budget in the days before I was there. The day before, several protestors had chained themselves to the rails in the public viewing area of the State Senate room with bike locks around their necks.
The state troopers were everywhere within the Capitol.
