Madison Brat Fest Organizers Making Changes For Safety

Trying to make the annual event a safer experience, organizers of Madison’s Brat Fest are adding security and cutting back on the hours for the carnival.  A major fight broke out on the midway last year.  In an effort to head off any disturbances, four Dane County Sheriff’s deputies will be added to the event’s private security team.  An estimated crowd of 180,000 people are expected to attend the event between Friday and Monday.  The event raises money for local charities.
