This year, they have added an intriguing new event at 10am that day: “Toss Your Boss.” We know that many city employees, and other Middletonians, would love to see Mike Davis, Middleton City Administrator, tossed into a f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g cold Lake Monona (as long as it is for a good cause, of course!). Here’s the catch: We need to raise $2,000 ($1,000 to benefit United Way and $1,000 to benefit the Special Olympics of Wisconsin) or else Mike stays warm and dry in the comfort of his home. If you are interested in donating to this worthy cause, please see Robin Higgins at City Hall. rhiggins@ci.middleton.wi.us
