A total of 40 teams of five people each will be playing in the second-annual Ben Wieler Soccer Tournament at Madison High School from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. The event will raise funds for the Ben Wieler scholarship fund, which is given to the Madison High School senior that embodies Wieler's attributes most.

Nicole Cecala, who graduated with Wieler in 2007 from Madison High and who organizes the soccer tournament, described some of Wieler's characteristics – a well rounded student, active in the school, friendly, a strong humanitarian, a passion for learning, and one who befriended all.

"All his classmates come and his friends come out for the event," Cecala said. "We all learned we need to spend more time together."

The fund is always looking for more donations and the tournament for more volunteers.

There will also be dozens of musical performances, holiday events, and more, all described below. Events associated with the Madison Holiday Arts festival are described at the bottom.
