Well if you didn't make it out to Burlington today for the big "Corn'n'Brat Fest" (http://www.travelwisco...) I'm afraid you're just plain out of luck. The Fest was at Echo Veterans this year. The park is fantastic with great views, a walking path, clean restrooms, etc.

I figured the food was pretty good, and cheap, although I did hear some people complaining that $2 for an ear of corn was too much. The brats were $3 each, also there were hot dogs, burgers, beer & soda (oops I mean pop), nachos, and pickle-on-a-stick for sale.

There were 15 or 20 different craft vendors selling stuff like blankets, candle holders, wood carvings, etc. The permanent play ground was getting a lot of use due to all the kids there. The plastic on the slides was smokin' hot even though it was kind of windy and barely 70 degrees out. Beautiful brat eating weather though.

They are about halfway putting up a new building in the park, check out http://burlingtonvets.com/
