Activities Going on in Wisconsin in September

As usual...I am awake in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping! I was cleaning out my bookmark's folder on the computer and stumbled upon a website that I had forgotten that I had bookmarked, the Wisconsin Events Calendar. So I thought you all might find it interesting to know some of the events going on in Wisconsin this month so I am posting it here on my blog! If you go to something...write and tell me all about it!
