PBS Wisconsin invites you to a special community screening of Bucky! at the Weill Center for the Performing Arts in Sheboygan on Thursday, January 29. Produced by PBS Wisconsin, this documentary explores the rich history and enduring impact of Wisconsin’s most iconic mascot, including the contributions of William “Bill” Sachse and Bill Sagal, two Sheboygan figures whose dedication helped shape Bucky’s legacy.

The evening begins with a cocktail reception from 5:30–6:30 p.m., followed by a full screening of the film at 6:30 p.m. Afterward, enjoy a live Q&A panel featuring local community members connected to the film, moderated by Bucky! producer Grant Fester.
