KEY Milwaukee makes every effort to maintain the accuracy of the information provided, but assumes no responsibility for errors, changes or omissions.

Welcome to Milwaukee County. As Milwaukee County Executive, I invite you to share the unequaled opportunities our county offers this and every winter for family activities and music, especially in our National Gold Medal Winning Park System.

The county offers many family-friendly winter activities such as tobogganing and sledding. There are also several places to ice skate in the county, including downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Arrow Park, which is open to the public seven days a week, and indoors at the Pettit National Ice Center.

The Mitchell Park Domes have a lot to offer this winter season, including the popular Music Under Glass series, which continues every Thursday. KEY Milwaukee is an excellent resource for planning your time here. Please make sure to enjoy what Milwaukee County has to offer. You, your family and friends will be glad you did. Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

While ice accumulates along Milwaukee's lakefront, the Port of Milwaukee remains active in cold weather months.

Cargo still moves by water. Vast amounts of deicing salt transit the Port, and supplies are replenished in January and February. Barge traffic continues year-round, carrying cargo into the Mississippi River system. Oceangoing ships rely on the St. Lawrence Seaway, but for several months that passage closes. Those vessels return in spring, carrying raw materials to Milwaukee and finished products to overseas markets.Trucks come and go from the Port, and two rail lines continue service too.

Huge ore carriers winter in Milwaukee's inner harbor. Extensive work is completed on those ships, readying them for another season on the Great Lakes. Milwaukee's Port rarely slows down, even in the coldest times of the year. Sincerely,

Tom Barrett, Mayor

CEDARBURG WINTER FESTIVAL Warm up with family fun! HISTORIC CEDARBURG, just 20 minutes north of Milwaukee, kicks off the 2014 festival season with the perfect antidote for cabin fever – the 40th Annual Winter Festival. Held Saturday, Feb. 15, and Sunday, Feb. 16, the theme this year is “Snolympics.”

After this month’s Winter Festival, the fun continues with the 29th Annual Strawberry Festival, June 2829; 42nd Annual Wine & Harvest Festival, Sept. 2021 and Oktoberfest, Oct. 11-12. 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.

All weekend, visitors can hop aboard the tractordrawn hay wagon to view the spectacular ice carving contest entries along Washington Avenue. On Saturday at the Cedarburg Community Center, W63 N641 Washington Ave., two chili contests heat up the Winter Festival scene. From 11 a.m.-1 p.m., individuals from the area can have their homemade chili judged by celebrity 6

judges. In addition, restaurants pit their chili recipes against each other from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Festival attendees can sample and vote for their favorite restaurant entries. Other food as well as beverages are served all day, and the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts hosts a coffee/cocoa and sweets bar. The Grand Parade kicks off at 1 p.m. Saturday, with Snolympic-themed bed racing teams as well as fire trucks, costumed characters, and other fun participants. The parade heads down Washington Avenue to the frozen pond of Cedar Creek for the start of the Port Washington State Bank Costumed Bed Racing Competition at 1:30 p.m. This hilarious cutthroat competition is followed by the challenging Barrel Races on Ice at 2 p.m. Following the barrel races, kids of all ages enjoy open Family Skating on the Mill Pond with free hot chocolate and donut holes at the Boy Scout House. Or, skate on the festive ice rink located in Cedar Creek Park, located at Mill St. and Portland 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 Second Annual Snow Battle is held at noon on Saturday for adults and on Sunday for ages 14-18. Also on Sunday, top dogs compete in the Alaskan Malamute Dog Weight Pull Competition, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., staged outside the Community Center. Grown-up fun is on tap Saturday evening from 6-8

Folk art is focus of new exhibition

NEARLY SIX HUNDRED objects of folk and selftaught art, from duck decoys and quilts to the work of Grandma Moses, are on view through May 4 at the Milwaukee Art Museum in Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art. This whimsical installation of American paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, textiles, furniture, and decorative arts draws from the museum’s celebrated collection. “The exhibition highlights the breadth and depth of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s world-class collection of American folk and self-taught art, from paintings and photographs to walking sticks and quilts,” said Director Daniel Keegan. “This eclectic grouping of American folk and self-taught art is a demonstration of the museum’s long history of collecting works by untrained creators.”

Margaret Andera, exhibition curator, said, “Some of the works included were created within the cultural traditions of a particular geographic area in the United States. Other traditions are rooted in the function of an object, such as duck decoys and walking sticks, and are represented by both historical and contemporary examples.”

Keegan noted, “Thanks to the museum’s rich holdings, Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art is able to overview the far-reaching variety in folk and self-taught art through a lively and visually compelling installation that has something for all ages,” said Keegan.

Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art is presented by the Caxambas Foundation and International Autos Group. The museum, located at 700 N. Art Museum Dr., is open Tuesday–Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Thursdays until 8 p.m. Admission is $17/adults; $14/students, seniors, and active military; and free for members and for children age 12 and under.

The first Thursday of each month is Target Free First Thursday and admission is free for individuals (does not apply to groups). 22
