Noah Huber is ready for the Bugathon.  |
On Friday, July 2, Milwaukee-based Radio Disney AM 1640 will bring its Road Show to the Racine Art Museum in Downtown Racine, WI,
from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. The museum is partnering with the youth-oriented radio
network to highlight RAM's All the Buzz Bugathon event starting on Main Street at 6:30 pm. Everyone
is invited to participate in the Bugathon by dressing as their favorite bugs. Then, walking, crawling, or
scattering down Main Street towards the finish line at Monument Square.
Participants can be lone bugs or part of a bug
family. Day care centers, day campers and workplace and club groups are
encouraged to arrive in costume for a bug infestation. For a smooth getaway,
Bugathoners can create Bugmobiles using non-motorized vehicles, such as
bicycles, tricycles, wagons, strollers or scooters! Great prizes will be
awarded to the Creepiest, the Most Realistic, and the Most Artistic of all the
costumed bugs. In addition, the Best Bugmobile and the Best Group Effort will
be rewarded. The Best Overall Adult or Kid Bug that day will win rides in
Racine's famous Fourth of July Parade on Monday, July 5th.
Younger bug racers and
families will gather at
Main and Fourth Streets,
Downtown Racine
by 6:30 pm.
Adult bugs and bug groups
will meet at
Main and Third Streets, Downtown Racine
by 6:45
pm.
Get Glowing! Get Buzzing!
Get your Bug On,
and GO!
