Friday night activities include hayrides, pumpkin carving, petting zoo, an outdoor movie, farmers market, food trucks, and a beer tent. The Chamber is planning to erect a fence to encompass the entire event so beer can be taken out of the beer tent, but also serve as a border to prevent beer leaving the premises. Saturday there will be a tailgate party for the Badger game. Attendees must be at least 21 years old. There will be TVs showing the football game, a beer tent, food trucks, and tailgate-related games. Staff recommend approval contingent upon final inspection of the fire pits by the Fire Department and issuance of operator licenses for the event.
