Milwaukee to host tailgate-themed party to celebrate Bob Uecker mural

CBS 58

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee's new Bob Uecker mural is finished and a celebration is planned -- basically a downtown tailgate party. 

Weather permitting, the celebration will take place Tuesday, June 30, starting at 11:30 a.m. Five hundred cans of Miller Lite will be handed out for free for a toast to the longtime Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster. 

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson will speak as will Mauricio Ramirez, the artist who painted the 80 by 100-foot mural. They'll have free brats and ballpark snacks; entertainment is planned and memories will most likely be shared. 

The mural is located at Jackson and Mason Streets. As Uecker might say, "right down Wisconsin Avenue," then turn north.
