2nd Annual Fighting BobFest North

May 19, 2012 | 9 AM
Northern Wisconsin State Fair Grounds • Chippewa Falls, WI

The theme of this year's BobFest North is "We are the 99%". This is the second year for this event, and the committee is working on bringing in some really great speakers.  This year's event will feature great progressive speakers, candidates, and a bunch of surprises.  We'll also have wonderful local food, and, this year, really great local beer from the folks at Valkyrie Brewing in Dallas (trust me, your mouth will thank you). There will be booths from many progressive organizations and vendors. There will be live music, great progressive schwag to fill out your button collection, and a lot of fun for the whole family.  And it's all indoors, so you can listen to the speeches and keep dry if it rains. The event is free, but we're asking for a $20 donation per family at the door. For more information,
