It’s hard to be social with your friends and neighbors while staying home, but one Wisconsin neighborhood came together to put their own twist on a Wisconsin Badgers tradition. Two neighbors in Sun Prairie, Greg Thomson and Joe Lahti, started the “Jump Around” social distancing craze that has spread all over Wisconsin during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s just something that across the state everyone knows,” Lahti said. “It brings people together and it’s good to have that going on right now.”
