We hope you had an excellent holiday season surrounded by friends, family and good cheer. We’ve got lots planned for 2014 here on the Center for Limnology blog, including a new series of videos called “Limnology 101,” updates on all things aquatic from our grad students, and new music from our cover band, Phantom Midge! But first – one way some folks in Wisconsin rang in the New Year – Prairie du Chein’s annual “droppin’ of the carp!”
If you find this odd, you might want to check out this list of weird New Year’s Celebrations. I, for one, am sad I missed my chance at a smooch from Lucky – but there’s always next year. For now, BIG thanks to UW journalism grad student, Patrice Kohl, for the amazing photography. (In subzero temps, no less!) And stay tuned for all sorts of good stuff in 2014.
