If you were among the tens of thousands who attended this year’s Brat Fest in Madison, you may have seen a familiar face when you got hungry.

President Manion was once again a “celebrity cashier” for the event which raises money each year for charities in Dane County. Dr. Manion, and the other all-volunteer staff, helped make a sunny Saturday at the annual event a success. Tim Metcalfe, organizer of the event, said more than 65,000 attended Brat Fest this year.
