Wisconsin Float in New York

Wisconsin Float in New York | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
View towards a group of people looking at a float, built on the bed of a truck, representing the Wisconsin Conservation Department. The float is stopped on a street in Greenwich Village. A sign at the top of the float reads: "Relax in Wisconsin... Where Friends and Nature Meet," along with two large mounted fish, a walleyed pike and a muskellunge. Screens and signage on the side of the float draw attention to live animals, including wolves and foxes held within. There is a woman in the passenger seat of the truck who appears to be talking to a young man wearing cap and a long apron who is carrying a bugle.
