ay in Madison means - Bratfest! Bratfest is looking to beat its' own record of 209,376 set back in 2010. According to Brat Master TIM METCALFE, "With this year's forecast we have a good chance at making a run for it this year." Bratfest has grown from Tim's dad (TOM METCALFE who passed away in 2006) sitting in the Hilldale parking lot with a Smokey Joe grill, a couple of packs of brats and hot dogs and a cooler full of liter soda bottles inviting customers to a "Brat and a Pop for a Buck." Today, Bratfest is at Willow Island at the Alliant Energy Center with a carnival, bands, the Johnsonville semi-truck griller, hundreds of volunteers earning funds for their charitable group with celebrity cashiers serving thousands over the 3-day event. "Should be a great year, we have been cooped up all winter long, its time to break out the grill and start grilling some Johnsonville brats," said Metcalfe.
