Can You Help At Lionsfest?

The more I’ve gotten involved with the South Milwaukee Lions, the more it’s become clear: It takes a village to put on Lionsfest.

And we need your help. Interested in volunteering for a few hours? Sign up here.

From grill to games to servers to cleanup, there is lots to do. Please consider helping out at the Lions’ biggest annual fundraiser.

Check out the full Lionsfest schedule here on Facebook. And we’ll see you next Friday through Sunday!

Evening on the Avenue is in the books, and it looked to be another big South Milwaukee Heritage Days success.

Next up: Lionsfest. Here’s a quick summary of the schedule …

  • Friday: Fish fry, cruise and car show and music (Cheap Shots, 4 to 8 p.m., and Caught in the Act, 8 p.m. to midnight). And don’t forget the all-class reunion for South Milwaukee High School.
  • Saturday: Rib dinner and music (Kool Grey, 1 to 4 p.m.; Jamit, 4 to 8 p.m.; and Mount Olive, 8 p.m. to midnight)
  • Sunday: It’s Kids Day, with cookie decorating, a visit from the Racing Sausages, a magic show, face painting, a penny scramble and a chance to win two bicycles. There’s also the famous Lions chicken dinner and music (Chuck Travis Band, noon to 4 p.m., and Ricochettes, 4 to 8 p.m.)

See the full schedule here, and I’ll hopefully see you there. As a new member of the South Milwaukee Lions, I’ll be volunteering throughout the weekend.

And don’t forget about Saturday’s parade and the duck race. See my previous post for more details.

Lionsfest Features All-Class Reunion Friday

South Milwaukee’s Heritage Days culminates with Lionsfest, the three-day celebration featuring a wide range of events and activities.

Check out the full schedule here, and I hope to see you around this weekend.

Of note Friday night, it’s an all-class reunion for South Milwaukee High School. Here is information from Leslie Henry …

Friday, July 26, the South Milwaukee Alumni Association Steering Committee will host an all class reunion beginning at 6 p.m. at the South Milwaukee Lions fest Heritage Days.  The celebration will be an informal event for individuals to casually run into classmates from all graduating years.  Individuals attending can check in at the welcome table in the food tent, look at memorabilia, look at rocket wear, and obtain a name tag and coupons for use at Lion’s fest for Friday.  Please come out and join the event, visit with classmates and have a great time reminiscing about your favorite Rocket town memories.
