Something to Do in Madison, Wisconsin

Chris Farley Remembered

Celebrate the life of Madison native Chris Farley, a comedian who made it big on Saturday Night Live, with an exhibit featuring mementoes from his years in Wisconsin and as a celebrity. Included will be his rugby jacket from Marquette University, his "Callahan" baseball cap from the movie Tommy Boy, the campaign jacket he wore in Black Sheep, and the swords he used in Beverly Hills Ninja. The exhibit opens in conjunction with the release of a new biography The Chris Farley Show, co-written by his brother Tom Farley.
