WBAY Community Calendar - WBAY Calendar of Events

Now in its third year, the Great Paper Airplane Toss – Flight vs. Drugssponsored by the Partners In Education Drug Alliance has established itself as one of Green Bay’s premiere family-friendly events. Family members of all ages, Pre-K through high school, parents and grandparents, have an opportunity to spend quality time together at Lambeau Field. Once there, they compete with other attendees in their own age brackets as they toss their hand-folded paper airplanes from the second floor walkway onto the football field-marked Atrium floor below. Airplanes landing closest to the floor markers and the airplane with the longest flight will be awarded United States savings bonds. Families can attend any time between 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Costs: Kids receive one free airplane; additional paper can be purchased for $0.25 each.

Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone, and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula Poundstone is delighting crowds around the country. Paula’s ability to create humor on the spot is legendary and with her casual air, impeccable timing and razor-sharp wit.

Outstanding performances will be a highlight at the event including exciting classical music, powerful jazz, and magnificent dance. Children will be able to get hands-on art experience through participation in a variety of creative art and music activities. The event also boasts an array of special gourmet items to choose from.

Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 1 is the first anatomical exhibition of plastinated human bodies which was made available to the wide public. Since 1995, it's attracted nearly 25 million visitors in over 40 cities in Asia, Europe, and North America. And it's coming to the Milwaukee Public Museum beginning January 18th for a limited engagement.

See the human body like never before. From individual organs to whole-body plastinates, BODY WORLDS 1 offers visitors a rare opportunity to see the complexity of human anatomy and physiology.

Never before has an exhibition offered such an intimate look at the human body. More than 200 real human specimens -- whole bodies, healthy and diseased organs, body sections and slices -- present a one-of-a-kind anatomy and physiology lesson.

See how your body's systems relate to one another and work in concert to help you function and survive.

Lili, an impulsive, 19-year-old living in Paris, meets a mysterious, young Moroccan man with whom she falls instantly in love. After learning of his involvement in a botched bank robbery, she flees Paris with him and his two friends, embarking on a cross-continent escape through Spain, Morocco and Greece. As the police close in, Lili is abandoned and left penniless in Athens. She eventually returns to Paris hoping to pick up the pieces of her life, but never quite recovers.
