Debbie Branger & Family to offer Grant Park Concessions

There is lots of exciting news to report this week. First, Debbie Branger and her family will be operating the concessions stand at Grant Park Beach in South Milwaukee. This is a beautiful sandy beach and offers a great opportunity to swim in Lake Michigan or just hang out and get a nice tan. The concessions will be open Monday - Friday from 3:30 to 8 pm and Saturday - Sunday from noon to 8 pm. What  a fun time!

And speaking of fun, mark your calendar for Thursday, July 23rd for South Milwaukee's "Evening on the Avenue". The event is centered around the area of Milwaukee Ave and 10th Avenue and runs from 4 to 9 pm. The Friends of Mill Pond will be selling Duck Race Tickets. There will be music, entertainment, children's activities and food. And for those who have contacted me asking for more info on our local Garlic Mustard Pickers -- this band will be playing some fine Celtic Music at this event! I know I will not want to miss it. 

On this same day ( Thursday July 23rd ) you can attend the South Milwaukee downtown market centered around 11th and Milwaukee Avenues. This event will be held each Thursday from 3:30 to 7:30 pm. There will be fresh produce and bakery for sale. For more info go to www.SMDowntownMarket.org .

Last but certainly not least, the Cudahy Lions will be hosting the Sweet Applewood Festival in Cudahy Park from July 31st to Aug. 2nd. This event is always a lot of fun with exceptional food, great bands, games and rides. What a great community festival! Come and enjoy the festival and support the Cudahy Lions. I have gone to this every year for many years and always see a lot of old and new friends. Hope to see you there!
