Rachel Rasmussen had some incredible goals 20 years ago when she started working as a bartender at the junction of state Highway 29 and U.S. Highway 45 and, soon after, bought the business. Since then, she’s achieved a lot.

It’s been 75 years since Bill Sagal became the first person to wear a Bucky Badger costume.
The official mascot of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will also celebrate its 85th birthday Oct. 2, and to mark that milestone, former UW students that served as a Bucky Badger mascot over the years are spreading the word about an endowment fund that will help set the mascot program up for the future.
