Morning All,
Happy Thursday! I am a day earlier than usual with this Happy Note cuz…we gotta get excited about July Break!!! The heart of summer!!! Let’s get out there and LIVE!!! So let’s get to it, shall we???😃
-Summerfest (again)!!! I’ll be at the Here Come the Mummies concert on Saturday😃. BTW, have you ever seen two saxophone players playing a saxophone quartet??? Mummies!!! I kid you not!!!
-Summerfest (and Here Come the Mummies) not your thing? Well, how about Dave Matthews Band at Alpine Valley (umm…slight difference in ticket price😳)?
-Milwaukee’s Lakefront Fireworks on July 3rd at Veterans Park. This is a big deal (and, yeah, this is an event where you wish Scotty could beam you in and out…can you say CROWDS???).
-Fourth of July Festivals EVERYWHERE (I’m kind of partial to the festival in Historic Greendale) along with, you guessed it, fireworks!!!
-Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra plays the music/soundtrack to How To Train Your Dragon…while the movie’s playing!
-The Milwaukee County Zoo is only $4 on the Fourth (and there’s a new baby Red Panda but it’s not quite old enough to meet the public yet…ooh I can’t wait to see the new baby).
-PBS’s A Capitol Fourth is always (at least for me) exciting (and patriotic and filled with John Philip Sousa marches and, of all things…fireworks!).
-Kenosha Kingfish are at home on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (Sunday they play the Lakeshore Chinooks).
-Lakeshore Chinooks are at the Kenosha Kingfish on Sunday (so if you’re a Chinooks fan AND a Kingfish fan then, umm, your team doesn’t lose???).
-NASCAR (racing) Tailgate Experience at the Deer District (I don’t believe they are allowing people to drive race cars around the Deer District😕…but I could be wrong🤣).
-NASCAR racing at Road America in Elkhart Lake (I do believe they are allowing professional NASCAR drivers to drive race cars around Road America…and REALLY FAST😃).
-Milky Way Drive-In Theater returns with movies including The Goonies, Ghostbusters:Afterlife, Spider-Man:No Way Home, The Parent Trap, The Great Outdoors, and more (did I mention once upon a time that the mosquitoes at the Drive-In can be VORACIOUS!!!).
-Milwaukee Rep is wrapping up its performances of Murder on the Orient Express.
-Farmer’s Market? How about Waukesha?
-Hike? How about the Seven Bridges Trail in Grant Park (it’s free!).
-Yoga on the Terrace at Villa Terrace.
-The Milwaukee Domes Faerie Garden Show runs until September 11th.
-The Posters of Jules Chéret at the Milwaukee Art Museum runs until October 16th.
Whew!!! And now get out there. Live your life. Maybe even live your best life!😃
So please have a GREAT weekend AND July Break (I am sending you all a prescription that says ALL play and NO work until 8AM on July 11th…I’m a doctor and I can write prescriptions😊). And please take care of yourself and your friends. Get out and enjoy all the good that life has to offer. And always know that being still and quiet and relaxing and renewing is ALWAYS an outstanding accomplishment.
Best regards and I’m hoping to see you around town.
