Traditionally, the fate of February’s pleasantness or unpleasantness in Milwaukee County is determined by whether or not our Zoo’s groundhog, Wynter, sees her shadow. But looking at the diverse events and welcoming neighborhoods, it’s clear that fun and memorable opportunities can be experienced this February even if our groundhog spots her shadow.

Milwaukee County stays lively in cold weather, hosting concerts ranging from Matchbox Twenty and Soundgarden to the diverse performances of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the Florentine Opera. Basketball games, the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show, and the Tripoli Shrine Circus are just a few of the many seasonal events Milwaukee County has to offer this month.

February also means Valentine’s Day, and Milwaukee County’s host of fabulous restaurants offer options for any style of celebration.

No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

Milwaukee enjoyed an unusually warm winter last year, pleasing all but the hardiest residents.

No matter what the weather, people in this town get out and enjoy a wide variety of entertainment and activities.

We are particularly proud of the performing arts in Milwaukee. Our symphony, ballet, and professional theatre are top notch. Every week, throughout the winter, our stages come alive with wonderful presentations.

Venues for those performances are remarkable, too.

Downtown's historic Pabst Theater, the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, and the Milwaukee Theatre all have rich traditions. We are a community that values the arts, and we maintain notable sites for music, drama and dance.

We also enjoy athletic competition. NBA basketball, indoor soccer, and college basketball keep our sports arenas busy. Enthusiastic fans keep downtown hopping.

People who live in Milwaukee do not stay home in the winter, and visitors are encouraged to join the fun.

Sincerely,

Tom Barrett, Mayor

Key COVER FEATURE

Festival fun begins in Cedarburg HISTORIC CEDARBURG, just 20 minutes north of Milwaukee, kicks off the 2013 festival season with the perfect antidote for cabin fever – the 39th Annual Winter Festival. Held Saturday, Feb. 16, and Sunday, Feb. 17, the theme this year is “Winter Safari.”

After this month’s Winter Festival, the fun continues with the 28th Annual Strawberry Festival, June 2223; 41st Annual Wine & Harvest Festival, Sept. 21-22 and Oktoberfest, Oct. 12-13. These family-friendly events, sponsored by Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc., are known for rollicking good times, terrific music and entertainment, juried arts and crafts fairs and wacky contests.

The beautifully preserved 19th century architecture of Cedarburg creates the perfect background for the festivals, and makes Cedarburg a popular destination year-round. The entire downtown was named to the National Register of Historic Places in the mid-1980s. Stone buildings, picturesque churches and Victorian homes create a delightful spot for strolling, shopping and dining.

Keeping with the Winter Festival’s safari theme, all weekend visitors can hop aboard the Safari Tram tractor-drawn hay wagon to view the spectacular Ice Carving Contest entries along Washington Avenue.

Also on Saturday at the Cedarburg Community 8

Center, W63 N641 Washington Ave., two chili contests will heat up the Winter Festival scene. From 11 a.m.-1 p.m., individuals from the area will have their homemade chili judged by celebrity judges.

From 11 a.m.-4 p.m., restaurants will pit their chili recipes against each other in the Moto Chili Contest.

Festival attendees can sample and vote for their favorite restaurant entries. Other food as well as beverages will be served all day, and the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts hosts a coffee/cocoa and sweets bar.

The Wild Expedition Parade kicks off at 1 p.m.

Saturday, heading down Washington Avenue to frozen Cedar Creek for the Dr. Livingstone’s Costumed Bed Racing Competition at 1:30 p.m., sponsored by Port Washington State Bank. That contest is followed by the Monkey See/Monkey Do Barrel Races on Ice at 2 p.m. Throughout the weekend, there is family skating on the Mill Pond. Family skating also will be available at the new downtown Festive Ice Rink located at Mill St. and Washington Avenue.

In Cedar Creek Park, don’t miss the fun of watching Saturday’s Co-ed Sno-Ball Tournament and the Cedarburg Lions Ice-Burg Open Golf Tournament, both at 9 a.m. The 1st Annual Snow Battle will be held at noon on Saturday for adults and on Sunday for ages 14-18. Also on Sunday, the park is where top dogs compete in the Alaskan Malamute Dog Weight Pull Competition, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Be sure to mark your calendar and plan to attend Cedarburg’s upcoming festivals throughout 2013: 28th Annual

Strawberry Festival June 22-23

Strawberry Festival is all about the “Arts on the Avenue” arts and crafts shows, the Plein Air Painting competition and of course, everything strawberry. Cedar Creek Winery highlights Strawberry Blush wine and delicacies include strawberry shortcake, strawberry slush, chocolatecovered strawberries and even strawberry brats.

Lots of kids activities, strawberry contests and live music are planned.

Grown-up fun is on tap Saturday, Feb. 16, 6-9 p.m. at Cool Brew and Tunes, a beer and food tasting featuring music by the Dueling Pianos. The event will be held at the Milwaukee Curling Association's new state-of-the-sport curling facility, located at the Ozaukee County Fair Grounds in Cedarburg, W67 N890 Washington Ave. Enjoy sampling 16 different beers and wine, as well as appetizers from Cedarburg restaurants.

Sunday morning, enjoy the Pancake Breakfast at the Community Center, 8-11 a.m. At 10:30 a.m., the “under 7 set” ventures outdoors to hunt for treats during the Let’s Go Wild Ostrich Egg Hunt. New to the Winter Festival, the Jungle Jam Musical Talent Contest is scheduled on Sunday from 12:30-4 p.m.

The Shops of Cedar Creek Settlement feature live music with Marcell Guyton on piano and vocals, Saturday, 1:30-4:30 p.m. and Sunday, 123 p.m. Free goodie bag treats add to the fun.

Cedar Creek Winery offers wine sampling and the Anvil Pub & Grille features an outdoor “snow bar” and chili bar.

Throughout Cedarburg, merchants will feature special crafts, live music and family activities.

BMO Harris Bank is the premier sponsor. For more information, phone 262-377-9620 or 888894-4001 or visit www.cedarburgfestivals.org.

41St AnnuAL

Wine & Harvest Festival Sept. 21-22

Wine & Harvest Festival highlights include a farmer’s market, “Arts on the Avenue,” Cedar Creek Winery’s award-winning wines, scarecrow contest, Giant Pumpkin Regatta, live bands, food courts, grape stomping, hayrides and other great family fun.

Oktoberfest Oct. 12-13

Oktoberfest celebrates the heritage of Cedarburg’s founding fathers. Crowds gather for authentic German bands and dancers, live Cuckoo Clock shows and contests (think Wife Carrying, Outhouse Racing and Beer Carrying). German foods, desserts and specialty beers are a highlight, as well as a Merchant’s Marketplace. On Sunday morning, an ecumenical worship service is open to all.

One of the show's longstanding traditions is the raffle of a handmade quilt, sewn by volunteers. Each year the quilt is different, with the pattern being selected by the quilting team. This year's quilt is a pattern called Windmill.

"This show is unique because it relies totally on the efforts of volunteers," says Ceil Bradford, who is leading the volunteer teams this year. "Volunteers help set up the booths and displays, make chili and baked goods for the tea room, sell admission tickets, serve food, sew the quilt for the raffle and work all weekend to make this one of the best shows around.

These are all busy people who give generously of their time to help out. It's really a community effort."

Shen Yun brings 5,000 years of history to life through Chinese music and dance ONCE AGAIN MILWAUKEEANS have a chance this month to see an extraordinary artistic review of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, brought to life through classical Chinese dance and music.

Shen Yun 2013 will be at the Milwaukee Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave., for two performances.

Feb. 19-20.

Developed by Shen Yun Performing Arts, the world’s leading classical Chinese dance and music company, the 2013 program includes nearly 100 artists, 400 costumes and the only orchestra in the world to feature both classical Western and Chinese instruments.

The first company to present classical Chinese dance on a large scale, Shen Yun annually performs to sold-out venues from New York’s Lincoln Center to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles.

Shen Yun’s other regional performances in the region are May 7-8 in Madison’s Overture Center for the Arts and May 10-12 in Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theater.

The performance moves quickly through regions, dynasties and legends of China. Ethnic and folk dances filled with athleticism, thunderous battle drums, masterful vocalists and animated backdrops transport audiences to another world.

“Think of it as a journey into a long-lost world you cannot see anywhere else – from ancient legends to 28

heavenly palaces to the dusty plateaus of the Middle Kingdom,” explains a show description by the production company. “You cannot even find a show like this in China, where this ancient heritage has been destroyed.”

The Milwaukee performances, sponsored by the Falun Dafa Association of Wisconsin, are set for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 and 20. For additional information or to order tickets, visit http://ow.ly/gY86p.

Come to and visit Wisconsin's most celebrated restaurant, then dine surrounded by a three million dollar collection of medieval art.

Voted Best Ethnic restaurant by readers of Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin Trails, Shepherd Express & Exclusively Yours “Mader's is the place to dine when visiting Milwaukee” - The Washington Post American Online subscribers named us Cities Best, Best Sunday Brunch & Best German Food & Drink Featured on The Travel Channel and The Food Network.

Color Rush charts—from magazine pages to gallery walls, from advertisements to photojournalism—the interconnected history of color photography in the United States from 1907 to 1981 through nearly 200 objects.

“Respectively, these years mark the introduction of the first commercially available color photographic process—the autochrome—and the published survey that signified the widespread acceptance of contemporary art photography in color,” said Lisa Hostetler, exhibition co-curator.

“In the intervening years, color photography captured the popular imagination through its visibility in magazines such as Life and Vogue, as well as through its accessibility on the marketplace thanks to companies such as Kodak. At the same time, artists were exploring the potential of color photography for their own creative practice.”

Saul Leiter, Bus

The exhibition’s curators are Hostetler, former curator of photographs at the Milwaukee Art Museum and currently McAvoy Family Curator of Photography at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Katherine A. Bussard, associate curator of photography at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Exhibition showcases color photography OPENING FEB. 22 at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Color Rush: 75 Years of Color Photography in America captures the medium’s evolution throughout the first seven decades of the 20th century, exploring the historical developments that led to color photography becoming the norm in popular culture and fine art.

With framed photographs, as well as publications, slide shows, and film clips, this exhibition presents the story of color photography in America as it has never been told before.

30

Among the artists represented in Color Rush are Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Nan Goldin, Jan Groover, Barbara Kasten, Saul Leiter, Susan Meiselas, Joel Meyerowitz, László Moholy-Nagy, Nickolas Muray, Paul Outerbridge, Eliot Porter, Cindy Sherman, Stephen Shore, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Joel Sternfeld, and Edward Weston.

Celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2013, the Milwaukee Art Museum collection houses more than 30,000 works, with strengths in 19th- and 20th-century American and European art, contemporary art, American decorative arts, and folk and self-taught art.

The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Dr., is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Sun., with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Thursdays. General admission, which includes all special exhibitions, is $15 for adults and $12 for students over 12, seniors and active military.

KEY GALLERIES

Galleries warm up winter in Milwaukee

FIFTY YEARS of collecting Wisconsin art is reflected in a diverse exhibit at DAVID BARNETT GALLERY, 1024 E. State St. at Prospect Ave., continuing through April 13.

that has inspired scores of artists. In Cedarburg, be sure to explore THE PINK LLAMA GALLERY, thepinkllama.com. While the gallery has an address of W62 N580 Washington Ave., the entrance actually is through the rear porch, located across the street from the red and white pagoda.

Wisconsin Art from the Collection of David Barnett and the David Barnett Gallery includes works by Sylvia Spicuzza, daughter of Francesco Spicuzza who spent a great deal of her life teaching at Shorewood’s Lake Bluff Elementary School. Also featured are artists Joseph Ferrara, who taught at Shorewood High School and influenced many artists; local artist and instructor Howard Schroedter, and Joseph Rozman, the first artist to have a solo exhibition at the Barnett Gallery in 1967..

At TORY FOLLIARD GALLERY, 233 N. Milwaukee St. in the Historic Third Ward, an exhibition called Color! includes regional and national artists who challenge the limits of visual perception.

The exhibition includes Derrick Buisch’s installation of enamel and acrylic abstractions of visual symbols, Anoka Faruqee’s mathematically perfect acrylic paintings that describe weightlessness, Ben Grant’s three-dimensional Op Art inspired paintings and Trent Miller’s paintings that explore shapes and the space within. The display continues through March 9.

DeLIND GALLERY OF FINE ART, 450 E. Mason St., defies the chilly weather with its annual Bare Walls show, devoted to the “Nude” in art, which gallery owner Bill DeLind says has “captured the imagination and talents of artists” since caveman days.

Visit RIVERVIEW ANTIQUE MARKET to explore vintage art and photos from many of the area’s leading antique dealers. The shop is located at 175 S. Water St. just across the Milwaukee River from the Historic Third Ward.

Inside the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St., is the MORNING GLORY GALLERY. The gallery features fine crafts from more than 50 Wisconsin artists. Visit the gallery before a show (or during intermission). Regular gallery hours are noon-6 p.m. Thurs.-Sat.

Taller Bucks contend for NBA playoff spot

THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS this season are surprising NBA competitors with a taller and stronger front line that has helped move them into contention for a playoff berth.

After missing the playoffs last season, the Bucks acquired Samuel Dalembert (6-11, 250) from the Houston Rockets. Then, free agent Joel Przybilla (7-1, 255) returned for another stint with his first team. First-round pick John Henson (6-11, 220) and Larry Sanders (6-11, 235) add to the front court presence.

"There is no reason why we won't have a legitimate shot-blocker on the court for every minute of every game,â&#x20AC;? says GM John Hammond.

For scoring, the Bucks rely on the backcourt punch of Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings.

The Bucks play home games at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, 1001 N. Fourth St. Tickets may be obtained at the Bradley Center Box Office or bucks.com.

Sprecher’s Tapas & Beer a winning combination

By BETH STAFFORD KEY Milwaukee Publisher

SURPRISING. Imaginative. Delectable.

For me, that describes the beer and food samplings that Sprecher Brewing Company has created for the company’s new Tapas and Beer experience.

Traditionally, tapas are “small plates.”

Sprecher Brewing’s version features a dozen craft beers, each paired with five to six different food items. Each tidbit is selected to highlight and accent flavors in that specific pairing.

Since this is Sprecher Brewing, the beers, of course, represent a wide range of styles. By the end of Tapas and Beer, tasters sample more than 70 flavor pairings. I learned how pairings change and enhance the flavors in both the beer and food items.

In foodie terms, this is a great opportunity to experience “contrasting and complimentary” and “dominant vs. secondary” flavors.

The food samplings cover the salty, sour, bitter, sweet and savory landscape. I expected to be treated to some of Wisconsin’s finest cheeses, since Sprecher Brewing already recommends pairings for specific beers and products from the state’s artisan cheesemakers such as Carr Valley and Sartori.

But it was amazing to find Sprecher Hefe Weiss paired with chile spiced mango pieces and dried banana chips, Sprecher Pub Brown Ale with roasted coconut strips and dried apricots and Sprecher IPA with ruby red grapefruit sections and pickled beets. I’m obsessed with tracking down the source for the bacon pralines and dark chocolate toffee, but at least I know that the brewery’s Beer Popcorn and Oktoberfest Beer Brittle can be snagged at the Sprecher Gift Shop.

The host or hostess at each Tapas and Beer session provides a lot of background on beer brewing and brings visitors up-to-date on what Sprecher Brewing has been up to lately.

For our group, that included a description of Sprecher’s new Hard Root Beer. This root

beer with bourbon and oak flavors is strictly for adults 21+ and is delectable. (It’s also very limited in availability right now, so visit the Sprecher Gift Shop or check sprecherbrewery.com for retailers.)

We also learned about Sprecher Commando, Pipers Scotch Ale aged in oak bourbon barrels, and Sprecher Czar Brew, Imperial Stout, similarly aged. I’m a bourbon lover with a bit of Scotch-Irish in the family tree, so I’m going (with) Commando.

Sprecher President Jeff Hamilton believes Tapas and Beer is a first for any brewery in the country and currently plans sessions every Thursday beginning at 6 p.m., although additional times may be scheduled. The pairing will change seasonally, reflecting Sprecher’s current beer lineup. The cost is $30 per person, with a maximum of 18 guests each session. Reservations are recommended and all participants must be 21. The brewery is located at 701 W. Glendale Ave., in Glendale. Reservations and info is at 414-9642739 or sprecherbrewery.com.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

THE PACKING HOUSE A Milwaukee original updates interior, menu for next 40 years THE RECIPE that made The Packing House one of Milwaukee’s most successful family-owned restaurants for nearly 40 years is being tweaked to meet the needs of 21st century customers.

“Like other restaurants, we went through some hard times with the economic downturn,” explains Chris Wiken, whose mother and father founded the South Side restaurant in 1974. “We put as much funding aside as we could, and late last year began a major renovation project that is nearing completion.”

Located on the north side of Mitchell International Airport, The Packing House is well known as a classic Milwaukee supper club and steakhouse. Its drive-through Friday Fish Fry is a Milwaukee original, as are weekend entertainment in the lounge and menu specialties like Garlic Stuffed Filet, Steak au Poivre, bar-b-que ribs, lobster and seafood.

58

It’s also one of few restaurants in the area open every day of the year, including holidays.

Surprisingly, that seven-days-a-week tradition continued through the 2012 holiday period.

After the last diner departed each night, contractors installed new carpeting, arranged new tables and (sublimely comfortable) new chairs and repainted the dining area in sophisticated taupe shades.

Some elements of the major renovation are still underway, but all will be completed in April when The Packing House begins its 40th year in business.

In addition to the sleek new look, Wiken hired a new chef who is in the process of tuning up the menu. “We’re keeping our classic steakhouse specialties, but we’re adding items to update our dining options.”

Chef Kevin Shagen, who joined The Packing

small-plates are ideal for guests from the airport or from one of the growing number of hotels surrounding the airport,” says Wiken.

Completion of the I94/894/43 interchange makes access to the restaurant far easier.

Wiken notes that freeway access onto Layton Avenue is now much more convenient for diners coming from the south and west. The Lake Park Freeway is useful for visitors coming from the north.

The Packing House is open for lunch 11 a.m.2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Dinner is served 4-9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 4-10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday. Sunday Brunch is available 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

Live music in the lounge draws locals and visitors. Fans find a range of entertainment 6-10 p.m.

Wednesday and Thursday and 6:30-10:30 p.m.

Friday and Saturday.

House late last year after working for national chains and independent restaurants, plans to add: • More healthy dining options, salads and pastas; • Creative small plate selections; • And all-day menu items like specialty sandwiches. Those arriving between traditional lunch and dinner times (and perhaps with appetites not on Central Standard Time) certainly appreciate being able to dine in the midafternoon.

Wiken adds that the “small-plates” should be especially appealing to the growing number of customers who stop into the restaurant’s lounge for live music and drinks Wednesday through Saturdays. It’s not unusual, he notes, for travelers awaiting flights at Mitchell Airport to drop in for a drink and enjoy music in the comfortable lounge.

“We’re seeing a lot more traffic in the lounge and
