Alvina Niebuhr / Northern Pike Spawning Campaign
Mrs. Alvina Niebuhr is shown holding the "winning" contribution can in the campaign to finance the purchase of a northern pike spawning and rearing area in Castle's Marsh near Warner Park. The can had been placed in Niebuhr's Bait Station. Her rivals for leadership in the fundraising campaign were Mrs. Dora (Don) Newcomb of the Nakoma Trading Post, and Mrs. Louella (Harold) Starkweather, bookkeeper at the Wisconsin Foundry and Machine Company. The Dane County Conservation League monitored the fundraising campaign. |
