Aug 29, 2009 , Saturday, 2009Baraboo / Sauk County Fairgrounds Tesla Fest and Midwest Inventor's Faire and Midwest Hamfest. Tesla Fest 2009 is now combing with the Midwest Inventor's Faire (similar to a Maker Faire only with serious inventors), and the 2009 Midwest Ham Fest. Time: 11 AM to 11 PM. Setup for exhibitors and amateur radio operators at 10 AM. Large grounds with over 12 acres for outdoor displays. Two large pole barns for indoor displays.

Tesla Fest and Inventor's Faire 2009 is scheduled on Saturday, August 29, 2009. This event will be held at the Baraboo / Sauk County Fairgrounds and has two large buildings to house the event in case of rain. We have been very lucky the past 5 years and never been rained out, but moving it indoors will save us headaches some year. See elsewhere in this issue for further information.
