They are still hiring at Summerfest.
The festival opens today, and some vendors say they are short on workers. Summerfest CEO Don Smiley says that means there will be fewer beer tents and longer lines. Summerfest, and the bars and restaurants that dot the Summerfest grounds, have been trying to hire workers for months. Managers at Saz’s say they’re short about a third of their normal staff for Summerfest despite offering bonuses of up to one-thousand-dollars.
