Only 1 day 'till Brat Fest!

This may sound like something happening in Switzerland, but no, it's right here in Wisconsin-- brat capital of the world. I hope by now everyone knows that I'm referring to bratwurst, the German sausage. Every year on Memorial Day weekend, Sentry Foods (a neighborhood grocery store) hosts a huge brat party. This is big time. They hype it all year as the "World's Biggest Brat Fest", and this year they have a goal of serving 150,000 brats. They grill them and sell them right in the parking lot. It could also be regarded as the place to be and be seen in Madison this weekend-- all sorts of local celebrities will be there as well, including Bucky Badger, the Governor, local TV personalities, etc. My Dad, especially in the last couple years of his life, loved this event so much that he would practically camp out at the picnic tables in the parking lot all weekend to enjoy a beer, a brat, and some Madison schmoozing. You better believe I'll be over there first thing tomorrow morning picking up my first brat of the summer!
