Happy Note–February 10th, 11th, and 12th, 2023

Mornin’ All,

Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃

I think Gordie the Groundhog was wrong. Where’s winter (and Thursday’s sloppy slush doesn’t count)? I suppose some think that no snow and warm weather is OK. Well, who am I to stand in the way of what makes people happy. Know this…I will be super stupid excited the next time we get measurable (umm, ski worthy) snow!😊

Enough about my snow lamentations. What’s going on around Milwaukee this weekend? Lots!!! So without further ado, and in no particular order, here are a few Milwaukee weekend things to do (weekend of February 10th, 11th, and 12th, 2023):
