• Encourage qualified young people to attend UW-Madison
• Award scholarships to local area students attending UW-Madison.

The 35th annual Head of the Charles Bratfest will take place on Sunday, October 19th, 2008 from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Area Badgers and supporters will gather on the banks of the Charles River to watch the men's and women's crew teams from the UW compete against teams from other prestigious colleges and universities.

Enjoy a Wisconsin-style tailgate with brats, potato salad, coleslaw, chips, soda, water and ice cream from Babcock Dairy as well as much more food and drink (alcohol for sale from 3rd Party Vendor). Also don't forget to bring your camera to get your picture taken along the Charles River with Bucky.

Our chapter is hosting the event at Reunion Village which is a short walk from Harvard and Central Squares. The site is at the Weeks Footbridge, on the "Boston side" of the Charles River near the Harvard Business School.

Note: Due to regulations, all people who enter the Reunion Village will have their ID checked and be charged a $1 fee. Those 21 years of age or older will be given a ribbon to allow them to purchase beer and wine.

For more information about the event please contact Bruce Guenther
