This is becoming an annual tradition for us, and one that always leads to interesting and important conversation. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/indiansummerfamily.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/indiansummerfamily.html?27544 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 11:08:00 CDT Growing up, there were things I knew that never in a billion years I'd get to check off my "life's to-dos" list. You know, things like marrying David Beckham, working for Depeche Mode or flying in a vintage military aircraft pulling 5.5 Gs and living to tell about it. Oh wait. Enter pilot extraordinaire Paul Keppeler and the Wings Over Waukesha Air Show. My assignment: ride shotgun in his 1957 Lockheed T-33 Canadian Army jet and take it for a little spin around the skies. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/katieklein/T33ride.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/katieklein/T33ride.html?27255 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 15:12:00 CDT The Milwaukee Masterpiece car show is set to return to for a seventh year, Aug. 27-28, at the Lakefront. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/milwaukeemasterpiece.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/milwaukeemasterpiece.html?27295 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:24:00 CDT A la Carte at the Zoo is encouraging visitors to text votes for their favorite food vendors at the event, which runs Aug. 18-21, at the Milwaukee County Zoo.

In the meantime, there are a few thoughts I want to share while they're still fresh in my head. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/fairreflections2011.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/fairreflections2011.html?27224 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:58:00 CDT Seeing the name Alessandro Negrini on the Irish Fest schedule this year might make you stop and look twice. But the Italian, who now lives in Derry, Ireland, has good reason to be here. The festival, which runs Aug. 18-21 on the Henry Maier Festival Grounds, will screen films in its Cultural Pavilion this year, and one of them is Negrini's "Paradiso." http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/negriniparadiso.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/negriniparadiso.html?27161 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:23:00 CDT It's been a summer of firsts - from aerobatic plane rides to rappelling down Lambeau Field - so it seems fitting I'd throw my hat into the ring for some competitive eating, too. I wasn't sure what to expect when I agreed to faceplant into a cream puff at the State Fair's Celebrity Cream Puff Eating Contest, but I knew it'd get messy. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/reneelorenz/creampuff11.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/reneelorenz/creampuff11.html?27202 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:27:00 CDT TeaserFor the third straight year Chef Brian Moran of the St. Paul Fish Co. at the Milwaukee Public Market has been tapped by Patrick Cudahy to create five new recipes to showcase local ingredients, including, of course, Cudahy's own products. On Friday, Aug. 12, he reprises last year's Bacon Lovers Day event at State Fair. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/baconloversday11.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/baconloversday11.html?27125 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:10:00 CDT There are lots of tasty "sticked" foods at the Wisconsin State Fair, but here are a bunch of edible items that, according to the OnMilwaukee.com editors, should not be served on a stick under any circumstances. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/badideastickfoods.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/badideastickfoods.html?27135 Sun, 7 Aug 2011 09:02:00 CDT Each year, the Milwaukee Air and Water Show attracts thousands of spectators to the lakefront to watch in awe as aircrafts of all shapes and sizes perform spectacular aerobatics. While it's obvious that it takes years of skill and practice to successfully execute such feats, few people actually get a chance to experience this world firsthand. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/airandwater11.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/airandwater11.html?27144 Sat, 6 Aug 2011 08:58:00 CDT State Fair continues to up the stick ante each year. Three years ago there were 32 foods on a stick, up one over the previous year. The following year, the count jumped to 44 choices. Last year, fair vendors added a whopping 21 more options. This year there are more than 70 menu items on a stick at the Wisconsin State Fair. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/fairstickfoods11.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/fairstickfoods11.html?26826 Fri, 5 Aug 2011 16:09:00 CDT In response to incidents that occurred Thursday night, Wisconsin State Fair Park Executive Director Rick Frenette announced a new curfew policy to remain in effect for the remainder of the 2011 Wisconsin State Fair. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/statefaircurfew.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/statefaircurfew.html?27139 Fri, 5 Aug 2011 12:07:00 CDT I didn't head into tonight's baked potato eating contest at the Wisconsin State Fair thinking I'd win. My main goal, really, was to avoid choking or throwing up. Imagine my surprise when I was named the winner. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/bakedpotatowinner.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/bakedpotatowinner.html?27128 Thu, 4 Aug 2011 21:33:00 CDT The Wisconsin State Fair starts today, and in its honor, this week's Social Circle question revolves around the cream puff, the fair's most famous food and it's not even on a stick. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/statefaircrampuffs.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/statefaircrampuffs.html?27107 Thu, 4 Aug 2011 16:02:00 CDT
