Thanks for the memories Jwild! I grew up in the U.P. and went to college in Milwaukee. What festival did you go to?


15-20 minutes?! haha you must be a true northerner grin that water was COLD my feet went numb in about 30 sec!

I am not sure what the name of the street festival was. My sister lives there and when I called her when we were passing by Milwaukee she told us to stop by cause she was already there. A week with no showers and we fit right in with all the hipsters and hippies laugh laugh laugh

Isn't Milwaukee called the city of festivals? Hmm idk
