Posted on June 2, 2010 and seen 643 times
Bob Fest - not to be confused with the political Fighting Bob Fest in September in Baraboo - is a celebration of the life and music of singer-songwriter-poet Bob Dylan, and has been going on here in the backyard of the Spring Green General Store and Cafe since 1998.
Started to commemorate Bob Dylan's May 24 birthday, the store's owners have held it the following weekend, the Sunday before Memorial Day, so more people turn out. Each year, for the past three years, the event has drawn close to 1,000 people throughout the day.
