Once again, thousands will gather to learn about cannabis, listen to speakers and music, visit vendors of cannabis themed merchandise and enjoy the company of likeminded people while calling for an end to Cannabis Prohibition. 2011 brings a major change -- the festival will continue into its fifth decade without the leadership of Ben Masel, the lead organizer for the last 39 years, who passed away April 30 from cancer. Over the decades Masel welcomed hundreds of thousands of attendees protesting the unjust prohibition and celebrating and educating about the many benefits of the cannabis plant. Carrying on the annual tradition will be colleagues who have long worked alongside Ben to keep the festival rolling; the Wisconsin and Madison chapters of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and the medical cannabis advocacy group Is My Medicine Legal YET? (IMMLY). Harvest Fest 41 is the same weekend as the highly anticipated football game between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the newest addition to the now 12-team Big Ten. Organizers expect that thousands of football fans will pass through festival events on Saturday.
