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 downtown’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,
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,
Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive
Tom Barrett, Mayor

New owner, new look in 30th season
Wave most successful indoor soccer team THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY operating professional soccer team in North America entered its 30th season last November with a new look and an old habit.
The new look for the Milwaukee Wave began in the front office. Sue Black, former director of the award-winning Milwaukee County Parks, acquired the team just after the 2012-’13 season ended.
Wasting no time, she unveiled a new logo, new uniforms and a new website, while renewing the team’s longstanding commitment to the community through its Wave of Hope charity.

But when the Wave took the field Nov. 16, it became apparent that one team attribute hasn’t changed – the winning tradition continues. By the time the most successful team in indoor soccer history opened its home season Dec. 7, it had won its first three games, including road victories against the team that knocked it out of the Major
Indoor Soccer League (MISL) playoffs last season and the reigning champion Baltimore Blast.
The Wave beat Baltimore again in its home opener and after five games was again at the top of the MISL standings. Only a month into the season, Wave goalkeeper Nick Vorberg and forwards Carlos Munoz and Ian Bennett already had been recognized as MISL Player of the Week.
While the winning combinations on the field have changed during the Wave’s first three decades, a constant for 20 years has been head coach Keith Tozer.
Tozer now has more victories than any other coach in American indoor soccer history, 23 winning seasons, nine “Coach of the Year” awards and six league championships. His regular season record with the Wave is 429 wins against only 234 losses.
The Wave plays its home games in the U.S.

Feb. 23 vs. Missouri, 2 p.m. (Wave water bottle)
Wave players celebrate first goal of the home season. Cellular Arena, part of the Wisconsin Center District at 400 W. Kilbourn Ave. Every game is fast paced and usually high scoring, in contrast to low-scoring professional games played outdoors.
After closing out calendar 2013 with home games against new MISL franchise St. Louis Ambush Dec. 28 and the Syracuse Silver Knights on New Year’s Eve, the Wave has seven more regular season home games in its 30th anniversary season. Dates, opponents and special giveaways follow: Jan. 11 vs. the Rochester Lancers, 6 p.m. (Ian Bennett bobblehead)
Jan. 18 vs. the Missouri Comets, 6 p.m. (drawstring bag)
March 1 vs. St. Louis, 6 p.m. (LED concert bracelet for still to be announced post-game concert)
March 2 vs. Missouri, 2 p.m. (t-shirt)
Acquired by United Soccer Leagues in 2011, the MISL is North America’s most storied and tradition-rich professional indoor soccer league. Playoffs to determine a league champion begin in March and Black and Tozer expect the Wave to compete for the team’s seventh indoor soccer championship.
For updates on the team and game promotions, visit MilwaukeeWave.com. Tickets are available by phone (414-224-WAVE), on the website, at the box office in the Milwaukee Theatre just west of the U.S. Cellular Arena and prior to each home game at the Arena.

KEY GALLERIES
THE WEATHER can be pretty chilly for January’s Milwaukee GALLERY NIGHT & DAY, but the art is always good and the camaraderie warms participants. This year’s first of four quarterly art events will be Jan. 17 and 18 as 40 galleries, retailers and other participants in downtown Milwaukee host showings and sales of artwork from throughout Wisconsin and the U.S. Also this year, the 11th annual Sculptures on Ice exhibition will take place from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Jan. 18 in the Historic Third Ward’s Catalano Square, with ice sculptors turning five-foot blocks of ice into pieces of art. If walking from gallery to gallery is not your thing, the free Friday Gallery Night Xpress takes visitors to five stops, beginning at 225 E. Chicago Street, along with a second shuttle to the Harley-Davidson Museum. Visit gallerynightandday.org for additional information and a list of participants. In the Third Ward, don’t miss Focus on Fiber at the KATIE GINGRASS GALLERY, 207 E. Buffalo St. Tapestries, handdyed silk sculptures, quilts and basketry from a number of outstanding artists will be on display. Also in the Third Ward, the TORY FOLLIARD GALLERY, 233 N. Milwaukee St., features the work of master glass artist Jeremy Popelka. In Milwaukee’s East Town, visit the DELIND GALLERY OF FINE ART, 450 E. Mason St., to see the annual Bare Walls show, featuring paintings, drawings and sculptures of nudes, just the thing for cold days in January. Art lovers also enjoy heading north to historic Cedarburg and Port Washington. A new favorite stop is ELVIA’S ARTE-GALLERY BOUTIQUE, located at the Washington Avenue Shoppes, W62 N590 Washington Ave., in the heart of Cedarburg. Owner Elvia Pena-Savage creates beautiful works of art in watercolors, acrylics and oils.
