Do you remember the Schusters' Milwaukee Department Store Parade? It served to kick off the Milwaukee holiday season the third weekend in November starting in 1927. Among the first parade's attractions was the appearance of Santa's live reindeers.

And, do you remember Billie the Brownie who was first heard over public radio in 1927? Billie was also a creation of the Schuster's Department Store in Milwaukee. Billie the Brownie was heard during the holiday season on WTMJ.

These are just a few of Milwaukee's Christmas traditions that the Milwaukee County Historical Society will tell us about.
