SEPTEMBER in milwaukee Cafe Sopra Mare at Villa Terrace to the East Side’s Tomato Romp and last chances to tailgate at Miller Park this season, Milwaukee’s must-do list for fun lives at VISITMilwaukee.org.

You’ll find it easy here – Milwaukee.

Harvest seasons are traditionally times of celebration in Midwestern towns, with concerts, dances, sports and, of course, rich food and drink. Milwaukee County welcomes harvest time with great celebrations, and we are happy to invite you to join us.

Milwaukee is a wonderful city to explore by foot. Whether you are a jogger, a hiker, or a stroller, our town has tremendous parks and neighborhoods.

Farmer’s markets and orchards are open this month.

Special events include the opening of the Outdoor Urban Market, Harvest Fair and Forks & Corks 2013.

Milwaukee has unique neighborhoods and commercial districts to discover. Consider a walk through Bay View, the Third Ward, Martin Luther King Drive, or Brady Street to get a better understanding of what makes Milwaukee special.

Indian Summer Festival is one of the country’s premier events for celebrating Native American culture. And, we are reminded this month why Milwaukee is known as the German Athens of America through Oktoberfest celebrations.

Local favorites like the Art Museum, Public Museum, and County Zoo offer excellent exhibits and our worldclass County parks are beautiful backdrops for any outdoor activity. As you decide what to experience in Milwaukee County, remember that Key Milwaukee Magazine is an excellent resource for planning your time.

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

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

You will find Milwaukee's lakefront an ideal place to begin.

Lake Michigan's shoreline is naturally beautiful, and thoughtful leaders accentuated the beauty by making sure vast expanses remain open public spaces. Museums, memorials, and the festival grounds are great walking destinations along the lakefront.

There are a number of trails in the city. Along one of them, the Hank Aaron trail in the Menomonee Valley, you can walk to the city's newest park, Three Bridges.

When you're on foot in Milwaukee you will find lots of people out there with you, enjoying every step.

Sincerely, Tom Barrett, Mayor

Hidden River Art Festival features exciting changes

BROOKFIELD’S POPULAR HIDDEN RIVER ART FESTIVAL expands this month to include not only leading Wisconsin artists, but also artists from six other Midwestern states.

Held September 14-15 at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, 19805 W. Capitol Drive in Mitchell Park (between Brookfield and Barker Roads), the festival expands significantly in its eighth year.

This year, 100 artists will exhibit their work beside the Wilson Center. Selected by a panel of jurors, the 8

Galleries, emerging artists featured

The Gallery Showcase, located in the Wilson Center’s Grand Hall, features some of the area’s outstanding galleries. In addition to artworks, staff from the galleries will share insights on current trends and advice on how to select fine art.

The Hidden River Emerging Artists Gallery inside the Dawes Studio Theater focuses on innovative emerging local artists. This curated display provides a platform for early career artists.

The Wilson Center’s Ploch Art Gallery (located on the second floor of the Grand Hall) hosts the work of Wisconsin’s fine artists throughout the year. On view through October 26 is the work of Beki Borman.

Borman’s current oil paintings are done primarily with a palette knife. These “chromascapes” focus on color relationships within the subject of landscape.

Regular gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and during performances.

Exhibitors discuss techniques

Visitors with hidden talents can learn new techniques and discover artists’ trade secrets at the festival. In the Artist Demonstration Tent, exhibiting

artists will demonstrate painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, 3D and mixed media. At the Children’s Activities Tent, Wilson Center art teachers present demonstrations and activities for children of all ages, providing a glimpse of classes offered year round at the Center.

Sunday brings a display of Italian autos

Italian automobiles are the focus of a special display of beautiful, classic and contemporary vehicles on Sunday. Visitors can meet with the owners and discuss the design elements that go into the creation of such aesthetically innovative automobiles. (Free with festival admission.)

The festival is generously supported by presenting sponsor M Magazine and supporting sponsors American Transmission Company, Rozman Wealth Management, and Holly & Jon Sorenson. Festival hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Admission only $5

While the array of special activities, exhibitions and artists has always made this art festival a great value, it’s an even greater bargain in 2013.

Admission prices have been reduced to $5 per day, with a new $7 weekend pass available. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets and information is available at 262-781-9520, or visit www.hiddenriverartfestival.com.

Directions to the festival are: I-94 to Barker Rd. exit, north on Barker Rd., east on Capitol Dr., then right on Mitchell Park Dr.

UPCOMING events at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts illustrate the diversity of programming. Now in its 12th season, this non-profit cultural arts Center offers performances by regional and touring groups, arts education and an art gallery with changing exhibitions.

KEY GOLF September,October are great months for golf in Southeastern Wisconsin

By JERRY SLASKE KEY Milwaukee golf editor

SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER are ideal months for golf in Wisconsin. The bugs are gone, the humidity has moved on, and the temperatures are as comfortable as listening to Dean Martin, the king of cool.

Sure, there are some nasty days to let us know that winter is around the corner, but, for the most part, this is the time to tee it high and let it fly.

Many courses also have fall discounts – particularly this year since the spring was so wet – and the courses aren’t as crowded. Moreover, the landscape is bursting with color as the foliage turns to golds, oranges, reds, and browns. It all adds up to a golfer’s delight.

Here are a few favorites at this time of year:

• Brown Deer: A former stop on the PGA tour’s regular season schedule, Brown Deer is always stunning and the conditions are impeccable with extremely fast and true greens. Thousands of mature trees line every fairway of this course built in 1929. 414-352-8080, milwaukeecountygolfcourses.com

• The Bull at Pinehurst Farms: There are enough trees, streams and ponds, and elevation changes at this spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature course in the northern Kettle Moraine area to make you marvel at Mother Nature. It’s well worth the drive to Sheboygan Falls. 920-467-1500, golfthebull.com • Erin Hills: Very little earth was moved by man to build this huge brute highlighted by beautiful rolling hills and meadows. It was the site of the 2012 US Amateur and will host the 2017 US Open. Because the only structures visible are the Irish manor-style clubhouse and the spires of the basilica at Holy Hill, Erin Hills makes you feel one with nature. 262-670-8600, erinhills.com 38

• Morningstar: Like Washington County, this course sits high so the views are awesome, especially from the clubhouse. It’s a gorgeous track and one of the best challenges in the area – or anywhere.

262-662-1600, golfthestar.com

• Nagawaukee: A wonderful tree-lined layout, but the back nine is especially pretty at this time of the year. Overlooking Pewaukee Lake, It has enough ups and downs to rival any roller coaster. The color is spectacular. This course does an amazing job of keeping the fairways and even the rough clear of leaves. 262-367-2153, golfwaukeshacounty.com

• Washington County: Although this Arthur Hills course (bent grass tee to green) is links style with nary a tree on the property, it sits high above Pike Lake State Park and the northern Kettle Moraine.

It’s a stunning vista as you stand at the clubhouse and look toward the spires of the Basilica at Holy Hill. 262-670-6616, golfwcgc.com

Other fine courses to play in the fall include: The Bog, 262-284-7075, golfthebog.com An Arnold Palmer design impeccably manicured that includes wetlands, woods, and wildlife habitat; Brighton Dale Links, 262-697-4653, golfbrightondale.com 45 challenging holes in the midst of the bucolic Bong State Recreational Area; Broadlands, 262-392-6320, broadlandsgolfclub.com Not particularly scenic, but a fine bent-grass layout tol challenge your complete game.

Also: Fire Ridge, 262-375-2252, fireridgegc.com Wonderful track without a weak hole in the bunch and superb conditions;

Ironwood, 262-538-9900, ironwoodgolfcourse.com 36 testy holes with tough greens and lots of trees, wetlands, and rolling hills make this a fall favorite; Kettle Hills (original 18), 262-628-0200, kettlehills.com – Interesting, tough layout among rolling hills covered in trees; and

Rock River Hills, 920-485-4990, rockriverhills.com Short, but challenging layout that sits aside the beautiful, water fowl-inhabited Horicon Marsh.

Brewersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rivals need wins at Miller Park

THE MILWAUKEE Brewers wrap up a disappointing season this month, but are in a position to determine which teams in their division go on to the playoffs.

Home games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals will mean something to the visitors, since all three are competing for postseason play.

Rain or shine, every home game will be played, thanks to the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retractable roof. One of the most fan-friendly stadiums in the Major Leagues, Miller Park is ranked by sports reporters and baseball fans as one of the best in baseball. The stadium is just west of downtown Milwaukee, with easy access to parking lots which can accommodate the largest crowds.

For tickets, visit Brewers.com. No matter if the team is playing well or poorly, fan support for the Brewers continues to be strong and sellouts are not unusual. If games are sold out or prime locations are desired, visit TheTicketKing.com.

Indian Summer Festival celebrates rich cultures - past and present WHAT DOES the first Native American saint, Olympic-style amateur boxing and the Great Lakes and Great Nations have in common?

Find out at Indian Summer Festival, North America’s largest cultural gathering of its kind, Sept.

6-8 at Henry Maier Festival Park along Milwaukee’s lakefront. For the 27th year, the Summerfest grounds will be transformed into an indigenous setting, rich with traditional music, crafts, villages and dancing, plus new and contemporary features.

On Sunday, Sept. 8, at 10 a.m., Archbishop Jerome Listecki presides over a special Mass to celebrate Saint Kateri. She was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in October 2012, and a special exhibit hosted by Marquette University is planned all weekend.

Also new this year is Olympic-style boxing. Native boxing legends Virgil Hill (Ojibwe tribe) and Marcus Oliveira (Menominee tribe), will greet crowds. Hill is a five-time world champion and recently inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Oliveira is a WBA Light Heavyweight Contender who is ranked #1 in his class. Both will be joined by “a reunion” of retired Native boxers from Wisconsin tribes who will also share boxing stories in and out

48

of the ring. Olympic contenders will spar for actual points towards their Olympic journeys.

Festival favorites include:

• 10th Annual Indian Summer Music Awards (ISMA), with a special program Saturday night.

• Contest Pow Wow running all weekend long.

• Spectacular fireworks display Saturday featuring a torch-lit canoe procession. Canoe rides are available during the day Saturday and Sunday.

• Nationally known contemporary and traditional performers, including Brulé, Michael Jacobs, Cody Blackbird, the Indian Summer All Star Band, Aztec dancers and the immensely popular “Fiddle & Jig” competition. New this year: Native Pride Dancers and the Strawberry Moon Womens Singers (hand drum group).

• Traditional villages showcase tribal diversity; a juried “Circle of Art” features Native artists who display and sell their works and a marketplace includes artisans who demonstrate and sell beadwork, fingerweaving, bows and arrows, corn husk dolls, pottery, baskets and more.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

Fans abound for Saz’s State House FOR SPORTS FANS and BBQ lovers in Milwaukee, the place to be in any season is Saz’s State House.

In 1976, Steve Sazama – better known as Saz – started a Milwaukee tradition by opening Saz’s State House in an unlikely location next to railroad tracks in the Miller Valley just west of the Miller Brewing complex.

Thirty-seven years later trains still pass the enlarged restaurant, but Saz continues to preside at 5539 W. State Street, where fans gather to eat, drink and discuss the Packers, Brewers, Bucks and all professional and amateur sports teams..

Saz’s motto for restaurant success is “focusing on what you do best” and he continues to preside daily over his restaurant. But his organization has expanded into serving its specialty products at festivals, catering tailgate parties and other events and selling popular menu items and sauces in leading grocery stores.

Today, Saz’s State House offers a wide variety of menu choices. A gluten-free menu and a great variety of kid-friendly plates meet customer needs.

Recent additions to the menu include the “Juicy Lucy” Stuffed Burger and an Avocado Caprese Salad.

But the emphasis remains on ribs. Combinations

58

include Steak ‘n Ribs, Chicken ‘n Ribs, Jumbo Shrimp ‘N Ribs and a Texas BBQ combo with smoked andouille sausage, beef brisket and onethird rack of baby back ribs. Or try new items like the BBQ Brisket Bruschetta or Asian BBQ Salmon.

While the restaurant located just north of the Brewers’ Miller Park is first base for of the operation, Saz’s playing field has expanded:

• In 1985 Saz’s began serving its specialty products at Summerfest and the Wisconsin State Fair, evolving into Saz’s Festivals.

Now the number one vendor at both Summerfest and the State Fair, Saz’s Festivals also serves more than 18 other major festivals.

• In 1990, Saz’s began serving BBQ ribs and sandwiches at tailgate parties and other events. Starting with a few employees, a truck and a grill, Saz’s Catering became the largest off-premise catering company in Wisconsin, serving more than 1,500 corporate and social events annually, from formal gatherings of 20 to companywide events of 20,000.

• In 1993, Saz’s began offering its most popular menu items and sauces in leading grocery stores around the state. Today, many stores offer Saz’s Signature BBQ Baby Back Ribs; Original, Vidalia Onion and Sassy BBQ Sauces; Saz’s Festival Famous Mozzarella Marinara and Saz’s Chive Fries. Saz’s sauces also are available in selected

Wal-Mart stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.

• In 2009, Saz’s Catering became the exclusive food and beverage provider at the Lambeau Field Tundra Tailgate Zone, a tented sports bar and food facility outside the home of the Green Bay Packers. And in 2010 in the season that brought Green Bay another Super Bowl victory, Saz’s became the “Official BBQ Partner” of the Packers.

• in 2010, Saz’s Fine Catering at the Marcus Center became the exclusive food and beverage service for social and corporate events, weddings and galas at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Milwaukee.

Saz’s State House continues to shuttle patrons to and from Miller Park in the final month of the season. And soon a special luxury bus shuttle will take fans from Saz’s to all Packer home games at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Saz’s State House is open from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

Monday-Thursday; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday; 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. (Brunch) and 2:30-8:30 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant plans to add Tuesday-Thursday late night hours this year.
