Take a bit of time to enjoy the many lights and Christmas Trees in Milwaukee. A few favorites of mine are Cathedral Square Park (shown in photo). With Christmas carols playing in the air, you can view not only the large tree of lights, but lovely trees decorated with ornaments made by students of various schools throughout the area. If you're hungry, step across the street to Elsa's and enjoy a lovely park view while having one of their delicious pork chop sandwiches!
The venerable Pfister hotel will have a beautiful tree in the lobby, in view of the quaint lobby bar which serves hot cider. Enjoy a cup while the piano player rings out festive Christmas tunes!
And of course, across from Red Arrow Park on Water Street, you'll find the magnificent City of Milwaukee Christmas tree, donated each year by a family in the city--just gorgeous! You can ice skate outside in front of the Starbuck's or check out the newly opened Bartolotta's Gastropub.
Happy Holidays!

Sharpen your detective skills and get ready to hear clues on the parks recorded line at 414-297-9090. Clues will be updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4 p.m., but be careful not to miss a clue because they will n

The Village of Menomonee Falls always has something fun to do for the whole family, and Halloween is no exception! This year, the annual Halloween Downtown will be held on Thursday, October 27th, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Children will be able to Trick or Treat at the participating stores in the Village Centre. While children (under 12) are Trick or Treating, they can also participate in a fun Scavenger Hunt put on by the downtown businesses.
The fun does not stop there! The Spooky Walk Through Lime Kiln Park is a great way to finish the evening. The Spooky Walk will take place from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on October 27th. Accompany of Kids has set the theme for this year's spooky walk. The spirited adventure begins behind A.J. O'Brady's, in the municipal parking lot. When our daughter turned 11, we took her and her friends on the walk as part of her birthday party - we still talk about all of the fun we had!
On Halloween, October 31st, the Village-wide Trick Or Treat will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Remember to put safety first when using candles to light your pumpkins, and never light them near dried flowers, leaves, corn stalks or crepe paper. Also, make sure you are visible in the dark, use reflectors, flashlights & glow sticks to make you and your children more visible. Some of our local roads and sidewalks are under construction so be careful, but most of all - have a safe and happy Halloween!

Memorial Day is that special day to remember our Armed Forces, particularly the fallen. This Memorial Day Weekend, at Wood National Cemetery, Michelle Witmer will be honored. Michelle, who grew up in New Berlin, was killed in Iraq in the line of duty and will be remembered in a special way this weekend.
Here is a list of other Memorial Day observances around the city and suburbs of Greater Milwaukee this weekend.
Another special event at Wood National Cemetery will happen June 4th and 5th. RECLAIMING OUR HERITAGE days focuses on veteran contributions over the years. A living history exhibit this event is great for the entire family. With reenactors portraying veterans from all U.S. conflicts, it is a memorable way for kids to learn about veterans and their way of life in the line of duty.
So along with Brewer games, barbeques, and yard work, be sure to remember our devoted veterans who gave everything for our freedom. Attend a Memorial Day event in your hometown!

Looking for some holiday fun this weekend?
Travel out to the Windsong Subdivision of Germantown for the annual Luminary Night. Located 1 mile east of Pilgrim Road on Donges Bay Road, this Sunday, December 6th, from 5:30-8pm.
This subdivision’s annual tradition of a Luminary Night is a perfect ending to a December weekend…After you’ve put up the tree, baked a few batches of cookies and addressed some cards, load the kids in the car and enjoy a peaceful ride through this subdivision. Most of the homes participate, with thousands of luminaries lining the streets and curvy cul de sacs. It is quite a treat for viewers….Admission is a non perishable food item to help stock local food pantries!
If you are looking for a home in a neat community like Windsong, contact Pat Tasker at Shorewest. As an area resident, Pat can show you the area and point out some great values currently on the market!
