We made good progress with the buckthorn today. Check out the 88th street side of the park near Chambers. Our friends at Milwaukee County Parks will be coming to daub the stumps and collect the branches in the next few days.

🎨 Make Art MKE Returns to Mount Mary This Sunday!

One of the things I enjoy most about living in and representing District 5 is seeing the different events that bring our community together. Make Art MKE is one of those events, and it’s back this Sunday at Mount Mary University.

Make Art MKE will take place this Sunday, September 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and I encourage you to come out and spend part of your day enjoying everything the event has to offer.

More than 175 artists and makers will be on hand, with everything from fine art and handcrafted items to unique products you won’t find just anywhere. There will also be food options available, so you can grab something to eat, walk around, shop, meet the artists and take in the atmosphere.

I think events like this are what make a community special. They give us a chance to get out of the house, support talented local artists and makers, and enjoy something right here in our own neighborhood. And with more than 50 years of history, Make Art MKE has become a Milwaukee tradition that I’m glad continues to bring people together.

I hope you’ll come out Sunday. Bring the family, bring a friend, grab some food and take your time walking around. There’s plenty to see, and you might just find something you didn’t know you were looking for.

When: Sunday, September 13, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Where: Mount Mary University, 2900 Menomonee River Pkwy.
