My name is Olivia Gallagher and I am a freshman at University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. I am currently working on research for a project in my Writing 114 course. Research for the project can be an topic relating to Wisconsin history. I chose to research Wisconsins past time on Friday night fish fries. I was very interested in learning more about why Wisconsin is so famous for thier fish fries, as well as what made this tradition continue to be so popular in todays society. This topic stuck out to me because I live in a community where people are brought together on Friday nights for social gatherings because on fish fries. My hometown, Lodi is also built near a large lake where restaurants succeed because of their fish fries on Friday nights. I even worked at a local supper club located on the water that is well known for their fish. I am excited to see what research I find and connect together to answer my question of “why and how Wisconsin Friday night fish fries are so important to Wisconsinites and to our states culture.”
