Circus of Chefs . . . The Gala 2008 Set For Sunday, June 29
Gala guests at the Circus of Chefs Some of the best chefs, brewmasters and vintners in south-central Wisconsin will return to Circus World on Sunday, June 29, for Circus of Chefs...The Gala 2008. The annual early summer event benefits Circus World Museum by raising funds through ticket and table sales, donations of goods and services, raffles, and proceeds from silent and live auctions. In 2007 the event drew 453 celebrants and raised nearly $153,000 — an all-time high — for the circus museum. Gala guests are encouraged to make their plans early this year as attendance will be capped at 400 in 2008.
Co-chairs for the event are Susan and Jonathan Lipp of Madison and Jenele and Merlin Zitzner of Baraboo.
