Mifflin Street revelry mostly cool

Three Madison police officers were injured Saturday trying to break up a fight during the Mifflin Street block party. Otherwise, the legendary, 36-year-old festival was chilly and uneventful this year. In terms of crowd size and number of arrests, the event was comparable to last year’s, said Police Chief Noble Wray.

“There were some areas where we had dramatic improvement,” he said, noting that there was compliance on the one-day bottle ban.
