Happy 250th birthday, America. To mark a special Fourth of July, Badgers added blue to their usual red-and-white getup for a full day of themed fun at the Memorial Union Terrace. The Stars, Stripes & Shorelines event - hosted in partnership with The Edgewater - featured art activities, a water ski show and live music, including a UW Marching Band performance that surely left visitors humming the melodies of both "On, Wisconsin!" and "America the Beautiful."
