Brewers host Annual Brewers on Deck 2017

On Sunday, January 29, 2017 it was just the fans and the Crew – hanging out, swapping stories, playing games, and most likely, becoming best friends, as the Brewers hosted their annual winter fan fest "Brewers On Deck." The event gives fans a fix of Brewers baseball in January by spending the day with all of your favorite players, coaches, alumni, front office personnel and broadcasters. Brewers On Deck was once again held at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee and featured a number of unique opportunities to get up close and personal with the Crew. Pictured at the fan fest is former Milwaukee Brewer and Manager of Youth Outreach Larry Hisle, who coached young fans on proper baseball techniques and what it takes to be a pro-ball player.

On Tuesday, January 31, 2017 the Fazzari family hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at their newest restaurant, Pizzeria San Giorgio, to celebrate its opening and creation of 50 new jobs. The restaurant will specialize in Neapolitan-style pizza and feature a unique array of Italian dishes. Pizzeria San Giorgio is undergoing the Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) certification process and will soon be the first VPN certified pizzeria in Milwaukee and the fourth in Wisconsin. The restaurant is named in honor of Fazzari's cousin, George – who passed away last year and was Gino's cooking mentor and namesake (George was called www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Gino, too) – as well as in honor of Saint George, who Fazzari says is his patron saint.
