Sussex's Week Ahead: Baseball, Budgets and a 5K

It has only been my first week in Sussex as your new editor, and I can already see what an exciting community experience I’m going to have here. Interesting new businesses are emerging, community events are frequent and the people are friendly and fascinating.

That being said, here are some events I’m excited to share with you this week on Sussex Patch.

Baseball & the Library

Professor and historian Stephen Hauser will speak at the Tuesday at 7 p.m.  Hauser will explain the history of baseball in Milwaukee without all the statistics, so everyone will enjoy his story America's pasttime.  He will be speaking in the library's Quad/Graphics room, and best of all, this is a free event.
