Fighting Bob Fest, Sept. 11 in Baraboo

Sauk County Fairgrounds, Baraboo, WI

Fighting Bob Fest is an annual Chautauqua featuring progressive speakers, networking opportunities, and entertainment. Fighting Bob Fest carries on the tradition of Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette by providing a forum for progressive ideas on issues facing Wisconsin and the nation.

Freedom and justice are defended through education, and the exchange of ideas promotes solidarity among progressives. To this end, Fighting Bob Fest strives to provide citizens with a forum for democratic participation where frustrations with current policies can be constructively molded into calls to action. For more info, visit www.fightingbobfest.org

Great Taste of The Midwest 2010

WYOU participated in another fabulous Great Taste of The Midwest on Saturday, August 14th at Olin Park in Madison. Two crews of reporters and camera operators canvassed the Park interviewing participants, Madison Homebrewers and Tasters Guild members and Micro Brewers. The footage was streamed live, thanks to Cricket Communications to both the WYOU and the Beerpocalypse Now! websites. Beerpocalypse Now co-hosts Jeremy Rintz and Keith Symonds taped an episode in the WYOU Booth and welcomed Cricket Communications District Director Mike Schwartz to join in the fun of tasting and talking great beer.

Another great booth setup

WYOU Police La Fête de Marquette Festival

WYOU staff and volunteers were out in force, literally at this year's La Fete de Marquette Music Fest in Madison. Dressed as members of the National Gendarmerie, WYOU volunteers greeted festival revelers and collected donations to help keep future festivals free. We also answered important questions such as, "Where are the Porta Potties?" and "Is there an ATM on site?" Super fun for a super good cause.

WYOU volunteer efforts helped raise nearly $4000 for the festival!
