April means more than the first glimpses of spring for Milwaukee County; it means the start of baseball season. As the Milwaukee Brewers once again bring action and entertainment to Miller Park, the rest of Milwaukee also thrives in the excitement of spring���s arrival. Downtown Milwaukee celebrates with Gallery Night and Day, a 25-year-old, world-class event featuring more than 50 venues. You also can enjoy everything from opera and dramatic plays to major concerts and improv comedy. And as we celebrate Earth Day on April 22, there are few better ways to celebrate than by visiting the worldclass Milwaukee County Zoo or one of the county���s award-winning parks. KEY Milwaukee is a valuable resource for exploring the many activities available this month. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us. Sincerely, The umpire's shout of "Play Ball!" prompts smiles on the faces of Milwaukeeans. We appreciate Major League Baseball for the entertainment and for the economic impact it brings to our region. The Brewers have provided excitement for decades, and early in the season we all dream this will be our year. But on-field victories aren���t the only measure of baseball's success in Milwaukee. Brewers Community Foundation is a valuable partner in building a strong future, with its investments in recreation, health, education and basic needs. The Brewers' ownership, its players and fans all contribute to the foundation's work. Baseball's history runs deep here. Inside a downtown hotel in 1900, the American League was founded. In the 1950s, the Milwaukee Braves became a premier Major League team with greats like Aaron, Mathews, and Spahn. Our love of baseball is sincere. In city parks, people of all ages put on their gloves, pick up their bats and make Milwaukee a center of America's pastime. Sincerely, Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive Tom Barrett, Mayor
