A new brat record!

In case you were wondering, the World's Largest Brat Fest (held this past weekend in Madison) set a new record by selling 189,432 brats! You can be sure that I did my part to contribute to the sales. I ate a record 2 brats (with kraut) for lunch on Monday, and they were delicious. In talking about bratfest with our friends and neighbors I often hear this comment: "A brat and a pop for $1? You can't beat it!" Pop means soda, for you non-midwesterners. My niece and nephews opted for hot dogs, which cost only 50 cents (pop included). As an added bonus, my niece, Natalie, got her picture taken with the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile which just happened to be on site for the event. Now that's what I call an exciting Memorial Day celebration.
