Get in on the Great Circus Parade
An historic tradition returns to Milwaukee -- The Great Circus Parade! This colorful celebration of entertainment has been on a hiatus for six years due to lack of funding and may not be back for a while, at least not in 2010, so this would be the weekend to check it out.

Brewers -- toast of the town
Count me as one of the thousands of overjoyed fans last Sunday when the Brewers nabbed their Wild Card spot to head to the playoffs! Even two games down to the Phillies, I remain optimistic and eager to see the Brewers back at Miller Park to play October baseball on home turf.

Are you celebrating St. Nick’s?
When you wake up on the morning of Dec. 6, will there be a stocking full of candy and maybe even a piece of fruit in it waiting for you? Or maybe some small gifts? If you answered yes, you’re one of most Milwaukeeans who participate a tradition known as St. Nick’s Day.

“I Got Yule, Babe” CD mixes Milwaukee into merry tunes
99.1 WMYX has been playing all Christmas music all the time since Nov. 10 and, as their midday DJ, I feel like I’m becoming a bit of an expert on traditional tunes. I’ve been keen to find some off-the-wall and unique holiday musical offerings. One of my favorite recent finds is local actor and singer Joel Kopischke’s CD, “I Got Yule, Babe.”
