Our July 4th celebration at Grant Park will be bigger than ever in 2015.

As always, the festivities start at 10 a.m. at Picnic Areas 5, 5a and 6 with bike judging, followed by games and the penny scramble. Ice cream and cracker jack will be available free for all participants.

All attendees are then invited to the second annual free Mayor’s Picnic, where Steve and his team from Emerald City Catering will serve hot dogs, chips, soda and water, thanks to a generous donation by TASC Services, a local commercial cleaning company. And that’s not all: We’re also offering bouncy houses, temporary tattoos for the kids, and more … all ending with fireworks that night.

Max A. Sass & Sons Funeral and Cremation Services is sponsoring the inflatables again this year, and Educators Credit Union is sponsoring the local DJ, from noon to 7 p.m.

My goal is to find new ways to get more families to our July 4th events and keep those families at Grant Park longer. Last year, we delivered on that, and we’ll do it again in 2015. I hope you can make it.

Thanks to all of our sponsors for stepping up!

Enjoy A Little South Milwaukee At The Wisconsin State Fair

Like most people, we have our Wisconsin State Fair routines — regular stops we make as we visit each year.

The big slide. Something from the Wisconsin Products Pavilion. Cheese curds. Cream puffs. Lemonade. The animal barns. The pig races. Maybe the sky glider. Those are just a few of the ways we enjoy the fair.

I’ll be adding a couple other attractions to that list this year.

First, Parkway Floral has a space in the Horticultural Building.

And Patrick Cudahy is celebrating 125 Hours of Bacon — with a local flavor. From the Patrick Cudahy Facebook page

We’ll be celebrating our 125th anniversary with “125 Hours of Bacon” from August 1-11. Each day we will be at the fair handing out free bacon treats, coupons, recipes and more. Stop by and get your picture taken in our Say Hey Photo Booth. We’ll be there all day through the duration of the fair. And don’t miss Patrick Cudahy Day on August 9th for a day of delicious samples, cooking demonstrations, entertainment, giveaways, and more! Check out the schedule for details on Patrick Cudahy Day.

The South Milwaukee connection: Emerald City Catering is providing bacon-themed samples at the Patrick Cudahy booth throughout the fair, including a couple really unique ones on August 9: maple bacon- and cream cheese-stuffed French toast and Celebritzza (cheese sauce, bacon, ham and pepperoni on a pizza crust). The local caterer is also providing the “world’s largest bacon-shaped cake” on that day. 

Be sure to stop and smell the bacon (and the flowers).
