Downtown Milwaukee soon will have a permanent reminder of the Happy Days television show.

A bronze statue of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, played by Henry Winkler, will be dedicated Aug. 19 along the Milwaukee River.

Happy Days was set in Milwaukee and aired from 1974 through 1984.

Most of the show's stars are expected to attend the ceremony, including Mr. Winkler, Marion Ross, Tom Bosley and the show's creator, Garry Marshall. Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams from Laverne & Shirley, a spinoff of Happy Days, also are expected to attend.
