After massive holiday happenings, it’s a quieter weekend here in Brew City. However, here are a few things going on all weekend long that will, hopefully, prevent anyone from going stir crazy at your place. No Milwaukeean -- old or young -- gets "cabin fever" on our watch!
Happy New Year, Milwaukee parents!
All weekend long:
WALK THE LINE
Turn your little people onto the man in black. “Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical” features 38 of Cash’s legendary songs used to depict everyday life. Celebrate Cash’s contribution to music at the show all weekend at the Milwaukee Theatre. There’s a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday.

HIDDEN TREASURE
If you haven’t found the Urban Ecology Center yet, you’re missing out. A natural wonderland provides an urban oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the East Side. Stop in for the opening of “Diverse Voices -- Gathering in the Wild,” featuring the work of four artists. Admission is free but donations are very welcome.

AREN’T WE GRACEFUL
Strap on the blades and hit the ice in Red Arrow Park. If you’ve got your own skates, there’s no charge. Otherwise, rent a pair for just a couple bucks. Who will have better balance: you on skates or the drunks on Water Street?
CURIOUS ABOUT GEORGE
Let the loveable little monkey entertain your little monkeys at the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum’s newest exhibit. The kids can let George teach them all about math, science and take part in engineering-based adventures. Its OK, we know it’s running through your head, so here goes: “You never do know what's around the bend / a big adventure or a brand new friend / when you're curious, like Curious George.” That song will run through your head the rest of the day.
