Anxious picnickers put on a brave front.
Madison, WI – Area residents braced for the end of the world after three consecutive days of perfect weather over Memorial Day weekend. Accustomed to all-day rains, frost and slush at this supposed kickoff for summer, residents had to be herded by National Guard troops toward parks, beaches and recreation trails. Many expressed fear that the end of the world was at hand.
Weather anxiety was also blamed for a flare-up of tempers at the World’s Largest Brat Fest on Monday. An incursion by the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was met with a volley of hot barbecue coals by the fest’s sponsor, Johnsonville Brats. The Weinermobile closed all its ports and dove to the bottom of a park lagoon, where it remained until a really crummy garage band at the main stage drove everyone away, including the Johnsonville grill team.
