After a fun-filled Safari afternoon, it was time for dinner of roast beef, ham, and all the fixings. An exciting night of magic and comedy was ahead. Jerry Fraiser, a well known magician provided suspense and excitement. Adults and children alike enjoyed card tricks, escape acts and even a floating attendee.

Next the best dressed awards were announced with the top 5 receiving prizes. The awards went to families and individuals that fulfilled the safari theme to the fullest. 5th place - Elle Walker and Ben Tibor of Minnesota City, Minn. 4th place - Doug & Jane Popp of Royalton, Minn., 3rd place - Jim & Barb Davis of Tomah, Wis., 2nd place - Tom & Katie Grady of Oregon, Wis., and the Best Dressed Safari Family was Ryan and Tonya Wayerski and their children Mackayla, Riley, Landyn and Taryn of Pittsville, Wis.

Finally, it was time to relax by watching movies, playing games or going to America”””””””’’s Largest Water park. Participants were able to choose from floating down?the lazy river, flying down one of the many water slides, or splashing in the wave pool.

As the first day of the Accelerated Genetics Winter Get-Away ended, producers still had much to look forward to with more opportunities to explore the Kalahari and the Young Producer Program.
