This year's Wisconsin Science Festival will feature a special weather event at the Wisconsin Energy Institute on the UW-Madison campus. On Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wisconet Manager Chris Vagasky will help introduce people to the behind-the-scenes of weather -- a topic that influences all of our lives every day.

The Wisconsin Science Festival is a 10-day, statewide celebration of science, art, and technology, Oct. 16-26.

Allison Bender, the Wisconsin Energy Institute outreach program manager, joins Vagasky with more details of the second annual Weather Festival and tells us how the power of weather research in Wisconsin is sure to get people excited to learn more.
