Today is the last day for the public to submit their personal photographs for the Milwaukee Moments contest that will be used to celebrate at the 162nd City of Milwaukee Birthday Party.
More than 131 photographs have been submitted for the contest at www.milwaukeemoments.com.
Were you there when the Beatles played at the Milwaukee Arena? Did Father Groppi's trek across the 16th Street Viaduct influence your life? Did your experience at the 1982 World Series make you proud to call Milwaukee your home? The Milwaukee Press Club, which is presenting the contest and will present the Birthday Party, is seeking personal photographs that capture unique Milwaukee moments.
A panel of judges will narrow the field to the 10 best photographs. The public will then be asked to vote on the finalists. The results will be announced at the City of Milwaukee Birthday Party, which will be held Tuesday, Jan. 29, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom at The Pfister Hotel Downtown.
The public is invited to attend the party. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at www.MilwaukeePressClub.org.
