Traditionally, the fate of February's pleasantness or unpleasantness in Milwaukee County is determined by whether or not our Zoo's groundhog, Wynter, sees her shadow. But looking at the diverse events and welcoming neighborhoods, it's clear that fun and memorable opportunities can be experienced this February even if our groundhog spots her shadow. Milwaukee County stays lively in cold weather, hosting concerts ranging from Matchbox Twenty and Soundgarden to the diverse performances of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the Florentine Opera. Basketball games, the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show, and the Tripoli Shrine Circus are just a few of the many seasonal events Milwaukee County has to offer this month. February also means Valentine's Day, and Milwaukee County's host of fabulous restaurants offer options for any style of celebration. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us. Sincerely, Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive Milwaukee enjoyed an unusually warm winter last year, pleasing all but the hardiest residents. No matter what the weather, people in this town get out and enjoy a wide variety of entertainment and activities. We are particularly proud of the performing arts in Milwaukee. Our symphony, ballet, and professional theatre are top notch. Every week, throughout the winter, our stages come alive with wonderful presentations. Venues for those performances are remarkable, too. Downtown's historic Pabst Theater, the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, and the Milwaukee Theatre all have rich traditions. We are a community that values the arts, and we maintain notable sites for music, drama and dance. We also enjoy athletic competition. NBA basketball, indoor soccer, and college basketball keep our sports arenas busy. Enthusiastic fans keep downtown hopping. People who live in Milwaukee do not stay home in the winter, and visitors are encouraged to join the fun. Sincerely, Tom Barrett, Mayor
