Brewery hosts winter broomball league
Milwaukee-based Horny Goat Hideaway has transformed the volleyball courts on its property into an ice rink. The rink will be used to host an 8 week broomball league to the city.
 “We are in this to entertain and have as much fun as possible” said Jim Sorenson, the company’s owner and managing partner. “Broomball was a no-brainer for us this winter.”
The outdoor winter sport is played with wooden brooms and a small rubber ball; the object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team. Players where rubber street sneakers instead of skates.
The league will begin the week of January 3 and run seven days a week for eight weeks. Contact Horny Goat Hideaway at 414-755-9055 if you are interested in entering Horny Goat’s broomball league.

M&I Holiday Display open to the Public
M&I Bank has opened it’s 2010 holiday display. The Enchanted Forest display is free and open to the public and features M&I Bank’s collection of more than 150 life-sized costumed animals including lions, kangaroos, penguins, monkeys and bears.
The M&I holiday collection of animals began in 1972, when 30 life-sized Steiff animals were discovered at FAO Schwartz in New York City. Steiff animals are collectors’ items originally made in Germany, by Margarete Steiff, who hand-stitched the animals. Many of the figures are no longer being made. The Steiff Company made the original teddy bear in 1903.
The display is located in the lobby of the M&I Bank at 770 N. Water St. and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. On Weekends, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day the display will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The display will remain in the lobby until Monday, Jan. 3.
