It's the 15th year of our Nordic Ski Club outing to view a multitude of fireworks from the bleachers at Wisconsin’s State Fair Park. The Nordic Ski Club of Milwaukee will meet at the
grandstand bleachers in the fairgrounds in West Allis on Monday, July 4. Here you can get a 180-degree panoramic view of fireworks from more than 25 other cities and parks plus the West Allis fireworks right in front of you. Usually a concert band plays about 8:30 p.m., and the West Allis fireworks start about 9:30 p.m.

We plan to sit in the comfortable blue seats high in the bleachers at State Fair Park. For those with difficulty walking, there is an elevator in one of the pillars that can take you to the upper levels. If you don’t find us near the top rows of the section directly overlooking the band, call Paula at 414-491-4636. Gary Braun and Paula Brookmire have been leading this outing for 15 years.

Meet us by 8:30 p.m., while it’s still light. We'll wave flags and wear red and blue. Wear red and/or bring a flag.

Enter off 84th St. north of Greenfield Ave. There is a parking charge. To avoid it, park near 85th St. and Washington St. (one-quarter mile north of Greenfield Ave.) and walk into the west entrance of the park and to the grandstand. The restrooms are open and available to use.

To R.S.V.P. call (414) 527-0040.
