The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host Brewers On Deck on Sunday, January 29 at the Frontier Airlines Center in downtown Milwaukee. Doors to the facility open at 7 a.m. CT. The exhibit hall will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT.

Brewers On Deck, presented by Time Warner Cable, is the annual winter fan festival that sets the winter fires of Wisconsin roaring toward the warm breezes of Spring Training in Arizona.

Brewers On Deck will feature a number of activities for the entire family.

Autographs and free photos from Brewers players and coaches, free interactive games in the Kids Area, clinics, Q&A sessions and game shows with Brewers players, coaches and broadcasters, the latest Brewers merchandise and many other features will all be a part of Brewers On Deck.

  • The Q&A Stage
    FOX Sports Wisconsin Stage to test your broadcasting skills
    Brewers Anthem Challenge
    Brewers Community Foundation Treasure Hunt and 50/50 Raffle
    Vendor booths with baseball memorabilia
    Kids Area

The Hunger Task Force will again join Brewers Baseball Club at Brewers On Deck. Hunger Task Force booth will be located next to Brewers Community Foundation at Brewers On Deck. We would like to encourage guests to bring non-perishable items to the Hunger Task Force designated area.

BREWERS ON DECK: Autographs

The following system will be implemented for select player autographs at Brewers On Deck in 2012. Recipients of any “PREMIER” autographs (players to be announced at a later date) will be chosen through a random selection process. Numbered coupons to be entered into the random selection process will be available the day of the event only and will be distributed beginning at 8am at the Frontier Airlines Center. Coupon distribution will be available up to an hour before each designated autograph session.

Fans can receive one coupon per event admission ticket and can use that coupon to enter the random selection process for any one of the select Brewers players. There is no cost for coupons to enter the random selection process; however, those holding coupons that are chosen must pay $25 at the respective autograph stage to collect their player signature. There will be 250 winners for each of the PREMIER autograph sessions.

Players and staff not included in the PREMIER autograph lust will not use the random selection process. Each of these players will sign 250 autographs at prices ranging from free to $10. The autograph opportunities are for signatures on photo cards provided by the team; the Brewers cannot guarantee that any player will sign other memorabilia.

All autograph proceeds benefit Brewers Community Foundation. Please note that cash is the only acceptable form of payment for autographs.

The Brewers cannot guarantee that any player will sign other memorabilia, and personalization of items is solely up to the discretion of each player.

VMP Manor Park is going to see the Dixie Swim Club at Memories Dinner Theater in Port Wasthington. This is the story of five southern women and friends for years through their college swim team.  Each August, they meet at the same beach cottage to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other’s lives. As the next 33 years unfold, these women increasingly rely on one another to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, and aging) life flings at them. When fate throws a wrench into one of their lives, these friends rally ‘round their own with strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction. Join us for a great show and fantastic buffet. Salad and dessert will be served at the table.

Winter Driving Safety Tips

Posted by: VMP on: January 16, 2012

Preparing your vehicle for winter driving

Be sure to have the following checked for the winter months:

  • Ignition system
  • Fuel system
  • Belts
  • Fluid levels
  • Brakes
  • Exhaust system
  • Wiper blades and windshield washer fluid
  • Snow tires
  • Tire tread and pressure
  • Defroster
  • Proper grade oil
  • Cooling system
  • Battery
  • Lights
  • Antifreeze
  • Always fill the gasoline tank before a long trip or even for a short distance. Stop to fill-up long before the tank begins to run low. Keeping your tank as full as possible will minimize condensation, providing the maximum advantage in case of trouble.
  • Clear all windows and lights of frost and snow.
  • Drive with your headlights on.
  • Stock your car with basic winter driving equipment: A scraper and brush, small shovel, jumper cables, tow chain and a bag of sand or cat litter for tire traction. (See Winter car supplies below.)
  • Also include road flares, a blanket, heavy boots, warm clothing, and flashlight with batteries.
  • Remember to reverse the batteries in the case to avoid accidental switching, and burnout. Warm the batteries between your legs before using them.

Winter car supplies

Keep winter car supplies that can assist you in case of an emergency with the following supplies:

  • Booster cables
  • Two or more blankets
  • Snow shovel and scraper
  • Flashlight and extra batteries
  • Extra clothing: cap, mittens, parka and overshoes or boots in case you have to walk for help.
  • High calorie, non-perishable food like candy and canned nuts.
  • Sand or strips of carpet for traction.
  • Extra windshield washer fluid and antifreeze
  • Flares or reflectors
  • Cloth/paper towels
  • Piece of bright cloth
