The weather improved, and Lionsfest got off to a good start Friday night with the fish fry, car cruise, all-South Milwaukee High School reunion and more.
(And I sold a fair amount of pull tabs.)
Saturday and Sunday bring more great food, music and activities at 16th and Rawson Avenues … and, of course, the annual Heritage Days parade. The parade starts at 11 a.m. around Eighth and Milwaukee Avenues, heads west down Milwaukee, then north on 16th Avenue to Lionsfest. I’ll be handing out flyers promoting the blog, so be sure to say hi.
And don’t forget about the Great Duck Race presented by the Friends of the Mill Pond and Oak Creek Watercourse. It starts at 2 p.m. at 15th and Milwaukee Avenues.
Check out a full schedule in my previous post.
Enjoy the weekend!

What a fun, fun last few days it has been. Our family enjoyed so many of the events. So glad to see so many people supporting SM too! My only issue was all the dogs at Evening on the Avenue. Why do so many people bring their dogs?? Just doesn’t seem like the venue for it. Maybe I’m just biased by my daughter being afraid and having to run interference every 5 minutes….
