Public Celebration: Autographs to Benefit Boys & Girls Club Literacy Program

The Fonz will be officially bronzed on the RiverWalk on Tuesday, Aug. 19 when Henry Winkler and his cast mates from "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley" return to Milwaukee for the day-long series of festivities.

The statue will reside on the east side of the Riverwalk on the south side of Wells Street.

From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Culver's Frozen Custard will host a free public frozen custard social at the Peck Pavilion at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts downtown. There, Winkler and the other guests are scheduled to make an appearance.

Starting at 9 a.m., 100 limited edition bronze the Fonz commemorative posters will go on sale at $50 each at the Peck Pavilion with proceeds going to SPARK (Spheres of Proud Achievement in Reading for Kids). SPARK is a program coordinated by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Performing with Sorge are Felicia Finley, Matt Merchant and Matt Walker. All fans attending the party will also receive a free bronze the Fonz baseball card compliments of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. "Happy Days: A New Musical" comes to the Marcus Center Jan. 6-11, 2009.
