A guy in our Sheboygan office led the Bratwurst Days parade. It was one of his proudest achievements...

Cool! Madison, WI has Bratfest on Memorial and Labor Day weekends. Metcalfe’s grocery is the main sponsor, Johnsonville donates the brats, Oscar Mayer donates hot dogs, other companies make big donations. They recruit volunteers to grill, package, and sell the brats and beverages, run the shuttles, clean the grounds, etc. Then the funds raised go to charities represented by the volunteers. In my case, raising money for a mission trip through our church. I worked with a couple of really nice teens during one of my shifts, who were raising money for their private school near the Minnesota border. Lots of churches and youth groups are represented, the boy scouts, etc. It’s a big deal!

“At least they were working.”

Yes, ‘were’ is the operative word here. Union bosses F’ their members once again.
