Spend a carefree weekend with your kids—not a fortune. You’ll find it easy here—visitmilwaukee.org/familyvacation
Harvest seasons are traditionally times of celebration in Midwest towns, with concerts, dances, sports, and of course, rich food and drink.
Milwaukee celebrates its culture with Indian Summer Festival, one of the country’s premier events for celebrating Native American culture. And of course, Oktoberfest celebrations remind us this month why Milwaukee is known as the German Athens of America.
Various harvest festivals, farmer’s markets, and orchards are open this month. Special events include the Outdoor Urban Market and Harvest Fair. Concerts, musicals, and art festivals add music and color to the parks and neighborhoods.
The people of Milwaukee love to celebrate. We celebrate our ethnicities, our sports teams, the arts, growing businesses and we especially celebrate our families.
A new trend celebrates the future, encouraging those who will define our future. Groups such as NEWaukee and Fuel Milwaukee channel the energy of early-career professionals. They attract young talent and work to fulfill social, volunteer, and professional interests. They are powerful forces in our civic life. NEWaukee calls itself a social architecture firm, offering direction and structure in order to make our community greater. Fuel Milwaukee focuses on engagement, adding dimensions to the lives of young professionals.
As you decide what you wish to experience in Milwaukee County, 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.
Among young people here, the level of enthusiasm, involvement, and action has surpassed any I have seen before.

Key COVER FEATURE
Record-breaking number of artists featured at Ninth Annual Hidden River Art Festival
Lisa Leverenz
David Jennings
NOW IN ITS NINTH YEAR, the Wilson Center’s Hidden River Art Festival will feature a record-breaking 120 artists from 82 cities and seven Midwestern states, working in a diverse range of mediums.
Located in Brookfield’s beautiful Mitchell Park, the festival will include both indoor and outdoor events open to children and adults of all ages. Artist workshops and demonstrations, a gallery showcase, an emerging artist exhibition, a silent auction, and hands-on craft activities are just a few of the many activities available to attendees of the festival, which runs Sept. 13-14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Selected by this year’s jurors—Laurie Winters, Director of the Museum of Wisconsin Art; Patricia Frederick, Art Department Chair at Pius XI High School; and Molly Evans, Manager of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Union Art Gallery— exhibiting artists will transform the Wilson Center’s lawn for one weekend only. Attendees can discover artists’ trade secrets, or refine their own practice through instructor-led workshops.
Emerging Artists, Exclusive Gallery Showcase, and Ploch Art Gallery
Meet some of Wisconsin’s most promising artists in the festival’s invitation-only Emerging Artist Exhibition. Thirteen artists from UW-Milwaukee, 8
the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, and Carthage College will discuss their practice and share their work with the public. On Saturday, visitors can vote for their favorite emerging artist. The winner will be awarded a solo exhibition in the Ploch Art Gallery in January of 2015.
River’s End Gallery of Waukesha, Fine Art Montage of Brookfield, and Katie Gingrass Gallery of Milwaukee will be on site exhibiting some of the area’s finest art in the indoor Gallery Showcase. The Ploch Art Gallery will feature the signature watercolors of Katie Musolff—last year’s Hidden River Art Festival “Best in Show” Award winner.
Many exhibiting artists have contributed pieces to the festival’s silent auction to benefit programming at the Wilson Center. Support artists in our community and take home a piece of the art by casting your bid on your favorites!
$5 Admission Free for Children under 12
Festival admission is $5 per day or $7 for a weekend pass. Children 12 and under are free.
Tickets can be purchased online at HiddenRiverArtFestival.com, by phone at (262) 781-9520, or in person at the Wilson Center Box Office.

6th Annual Milwaukee Film Festival puts spotlight on Milwaukee THE 6TH ANNUAL Milwaukee Film Festival, presented by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, puts Milwaukee in the international spotlight Sept. 25-Oct. 9.
The festival takes place in venues that include the metro area’s most historic movie theaters. Movies will be screened at Times Cinema, Landmark Oriental Theatre, Landmark Downer Theatre and the Fox Bay Cinema Grill. Passes and ticket 6-Packs to the 2014 Milwaukee Film Festival are on sale now. Tickets for individual screenings go on sale when the festival box office opens (Sept. 10 for Milwaukee Film Members, Sept. 11 for general public).
For 2014, the festival launches a new film program: Film Feast. In its inaugural year, Film Feast presents a diverse lineup of features, eight in total, comprised of both fiction and documentary films that explore and celebrate the culture of food and drink.
Another highlight is the festival’s music documentary program, Sound Vision. Now in its third year, Sound Vision features eight outstanding and wide-ranging
music documentaries complimented by Soundtrack, a live music series that takes place throughout the festival at The Hotel Foster.
Mexico is the spotlight country for the festival’s fourth annual Passport program. After successfully traversing India, China and Germany, Milwaukee Film takes the festival audience to Mexico. Featuring a selection of eight films set in Mexico (with seven of the eight made by Mexican filmmakers), Passport: Mexico includes an eclectic mix of award-winning films ranging from comedies and hard hitting dramas to revealing documentaries and poignant coming-of-age tales.
Film buffs of all ages are part of the programming with the festival’s Rated K: For Kids program. Presented by Mary and Ted Kellner, Rated K: For Kids offers a selection of award-winning features and shorts from around the world – ideal for ages 3 to 12 but equally enjoyable for all ages. This is just a sampling of what the festival has on tap. Visit mkefilm.org for updates and information on the film festival and schedule.

Lynden Sculpture Garden offers art amid nature THE LYNDEN SCULPTURE GARDEN, 2145 W. Brown Deer Rd, offers a family-friendly art experience just north of downtown in River Hills.
Formerly the Bradley Sculpture Garden, the 40-acre grounds were previously open to the public on very limited occasions. The sculpture garden offers a unique experience of art in nature through a collection of more than 50 monumental sculptures sited across park, lake and woodland.

Through Oct. 1, the sculpture garden is open to art and nature lovers of all ages from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Friday; 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Wednesday and noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and closed Thursday. A picnic area and bike racks help make this a destination for fun family outings as well as an eye-opening artistic experience. Special events are planned throughout the year and there are special exhibits on view in the onsite galleries and on the grounds.
Day memberships are $9 for adults and $7 for students, seniors, active military and children aged 6-17. Annual memberships also are available. Children under 6 are admitted free with an adult. Docent-led tours of the sculpture collection are Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Admission that includes the tour is $12 for adults and $8 reduced. Reservations for Sunday tours are online or 414-446-8481.
The sculpture garden is owned and operated by the Bradley Family Foundation. The Lynden house and grounds were purchased in 1927 by industrialist Harry Bradley of the Allen-Bradley Company and his wife, Peg Bradley. The Bradleys retained the Chicago landscape architects William Langford and Theodore Moreau to transform the flat farmland, with its small farmhouse and barn, into an English country garden.

Further plans to construct a botanical garden on the site were derailed by the outbreak of World War II. From 1962-1978, Peg Bradley—already an experienced art collector—began collecting the contemporary monumental sculptures that secured Lynden’s international reputation. The collection includes sculptures by Alexander Archipenko, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Clement Meadmore, Marta Pan, Tony Smith, Mark di Suvero and many others.
Public spaces include a conference room, large classroom/studio, gallery and glassed-in function space overlooking the large patio. The renovated residence is available as a conference and retreat center, and for event rentals. For info call 414-446-8794 or visit lyndensculpturegarden.org.

Paramount Blues Fest draws fans to Grafton
C E D A R B U R G
THE PARAMOUNT Blues Festival Friday, Sept. 5, and Saturday, Sept. 6, brings internationally known blues entertainers to Grafton, where blues music was first recorded nearly a century ago. This is the ninth year for the festival in the city just 20 miles north of Milwaukee. The Grafton Blues Association launched the event to honor the village's links to blues music and the musicians who recorded for the historic Paramount Records label. Along with music, the event features vendors and food and beverage stands. While the festival is held in Lime Kiln Park, Grafton's downtown is a “must visit” for its reflection on the area’s blues heritage, with a Walk of Fame, fountain and concert area. General admission to the festival of $20 includes Friday and Saturday while single day is $10. Advance tickets are $10 for both days and are available at Raymond’s Auto Body in Cedarburg on HWY 60 and Kohler Credit Union.

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre celebrates 40th anniversary IN HONOR OF ITS 40th Anniversary, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre is celebrating “Something Old, Borrowed and New” with five exciting productions performed at the Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward.
Wright, who also is MCT’s producing artistic director, describes The Good Father as having “a lot of humor as well as pathos.” Wright adds that the play’s actors, Laura Gray and Jonathan Wainwright, are actually married to each other in real life.
The season kicked off in August with the return of one of Chamber Theatre’s biggest hits, the Tony Award-winning play Master Class by Terrence McNally.
The first production in 2015 is the Midwest premiere of The Train Driver by Athol Fugard, Feb. 25-March 15. Inspired by an actual event in South Africa, this hard-hitting drama is by one of the world’s greatest living playwrights.
The mission of Milwaukee Chamber Theatre is to produce intimate, high-quality, professional theatrical works of literary merit that engage and challenge the audience, while employing and nurturing principally local theatre artists.
September brings The Good Father, a contemporary Irish love story by Christian O’Reilly, presented Sept. 17–Oct. 12. Directed by C. Michael Wright and featuring Laura Gray and Jonathan Wainwright, this gritty modern love story set in Dublin tracks a year in the lives of two people from vastly different backgrounds. Tim, a house painter, and Jane, a lawyer, meet at a raucous New Year’s Eve party, never imagining how much their lives are about to change.
A contemporary Irish love story by Christian O’Reilly SEPT 17 - OCT 12

MCT’s season continues with another past MCT hit, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield, Nov. 19-Dec. 14. Originally produced by MCT in 2001, this new production will add live music for rockin’ and rollin’ with the Bard.
MCT finishes the season with Margaret Raether’s final adaptation of the beloved P.G. Wodehouse stories, Jeeves Takes a Bow, April 16-May 3. Tickets, $15-$40, can be purchased at the Broadway Theatre Center Box Office, by phone at 414- 2917800 or online at milwaukeechambertheatre.com.

Ten American Indian horses and ponies will be at the festival with celebrities Rupert Isaacson, founder of “The Horse Boy” method, and Phillip Whiteman, Jr., founder of the “Medicine Wheel Model to Natural Horsemanship.” Children’s hands-on activities also will explore the connection between horses and Native Americans.

Home games critical for postseason hopes
THE MILWAuKEE BREWERS will be fighting for a playoff berth this month on their home turf, facing two division rivals – the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds – in critical series at Miller Park.
The Brewers, who have held first place in the National League’s Central Division for most of the season, saw the race tighten considerably during August. Centerfielder Carlos Gomez, catcher Jonathan Lucroy, third-baseman Aramis Ramirez and right-fielder Ryan Braun lead the Brewers offense. The pitching staff will be critical if Milwaukee hopes to continue playing after the regular season ends. Regardless of the weather, the retractable roof of Miller Park ensures that all Brewers home games are played. Attendance at Brewers games is high throughout the season with many sold-out games.

The course sits high overlooking the city on the moraine created by the last Wisconsin glacier. It gets its name from the ridge that divides the landscape into rolling hills and valleys. Since it’s owned by the university, the course is appropriately suited for the thinking golfer…the shot maker.
you don’t have to be especially long at university Ridge (unless you play from the back tees which measure almost 7,300 yards), but you must be accurate, particularly off the tee.
Straying from the bent grass fairways probably will not only result in an awkward stance because many of the fairways are raised, but the ball tends to settle at the bottom of the dense and wiry, but not overly long rough. And the bunkers, of which there are many – 16 alone on the signature 16th hole, a 554-yard, par 5 – are deep and penal.
university Ridge is a tale of two nines. The front nine with three par 3s and three par 5s has somewhat of a links look, running through a preserved prairie and marshland, while the back – at least the first six holes – winds through thick stands of trees.
Overall, the course has a roller-coaster feel with twists and turns and significant elevation changes. The 18th, a par 4, 413 yard dogleg left, rises 182 feet 50
from tee to green. The five par 3s are downhill – #s 8 and 12 dramatically so – over marshland, water, or a culvert.
Except at #7, a 429 yard, par 4 uphill dogleg left, the greens are fairly tame, but with subtle breaks. All of them, however, are well bunkered.
The day I played it was cold, windy, with low clouds and spotty rain. It felt like fall even though it was the middle of July. But that didn’t matter. Every day is a great day at university Ridge, a course that tests all facets of your game, and another reason Wisconsin is becoming an international golf destination.
At $50 to walk ($69 to ride) before 9 a.m. on weekdays, you will be hardpressed to find this kind of quality and service anywhere else. For additional information on the course, visit universityridge.com
Blackstone Creek in Germantown
OFTEN OVERLOOKED Blackstone Creek Golf Club in Germantown (blackstonecreekgc.com) should be put on your golf course “bucket” list.
It’s a challenging layout with well-maintained fairways and the greens are some of the smoothest and truest in the region. With a weekday walking rate of $22 ($15 for “boomers” over 50!), it’s tough to beat.
Don’t let past perceptions keep you away. Rumors have been swirling for years, and they still are, that the course will close. Should Blackstone Creek be bulldozed, the Milwaukee metro area will lose a convenient and fine test of golf.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH
Mr. B’s
MANy OF uS cherish that great American classic – the steakhouse. Mr. B’s - A Bartolotta Steakhouse continues that tradition with juicy steaks, chops and fresh seafood.
Located in Brookfield at 18380 W. Capitol Dr., the restaurant is close to a number of the metro area’s westside hotels as well as landmarks such as the Milwaukee Brewers’ Miller Park and the Wilson Center for the Arts where this month’s Hidden River Art Festival is held.
September brings some of Milwaukee’s best weather, and the patio here is designed to take full advantage. With its own service bar and fireplace, the patio is a great place to launch a memorable evening. Inside, the dedicated bar area also beckons with a few strategically placed TV screens and the “B” Happy Hour specials offered weekdays, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Once seated in the truly comfortable dining room, diners are helped by a staff that is knowledgeable and attentive, without being intrusive. The “service team” approach here assures a seamless dining experience.
Take advantage of the opportunity to review the meat cart with your server. It’s an opportunity to learn, for example, what makes a Porterhouse special (includes both a filet and Ny Strip) or what sets Mr. B’s lamb chops apart (they’re double-cut).
Appetizers here may bring back memories of past 58
special occasion dinners, but Mr. B’s adds a twist to the traditional. For example, there’s a touch of Pernod on the Oysters Rockefeller and a roasted garlic aioli heightens the flavor of the Maryland Blue Crab Cakes.
Salads include a local favorite, spinach salad with hot bacon dressing, and that steakhouse standby, BLT wedge. Here, of course, that salad is topped with rye croutons and Salemville bleu cheese. (BTW, that particular cheese is sustainably produced by an Amish community in Cambria, Wis.) Scanning the “Sides” listing, we couldn’t resist the roasted Brussels sprouts with Applewood bacon. They were so delectable they would convert anyone to loving “baby cabbages.”
On to the main event, where options include Mr. B’s prime cuts, classic steaks and combos. Examples of prime cuts are the Dry Aged Colorado uSDA Prime Ribeye and the Wagyu New york Strip. Besides steak and lobster, the combos also pair steak with Scottish salmon or bacon-wrapped scallops. Another point of difference here is that steaks are prepared in a wood-burning oven that gives a caramelized exterior, while maintaining a juicy center.
Steak orders include choice of housemade sauces (brandy peppercorn, red wine demi-glace, Mr. B’s Steak Sauce, creamy horseradish and Béarnaise) as well as potato (salt-crusted baked, french fries, rosemary roasted or pureed).
