Hands-on activities: Families Branching Out Expo provides plenty of fun

Second annual event a hit at the Kenosha County Center

By KENOSHA COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS

Kenosha County is located in the southeastern corner of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Its population in 2019 was estimated to be 169,561, making it the eighth most populous county in Wisconsin. The county is named after the county seat, Kenosha, the fourth largest city in Wisconsin.

The large hearing room at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol was packed full of vendors and visitors at Saturday’s Families Branching Out Expo. The annual event is sponsored by the Kenosha County Association for Home & Community Education.

Saturday’s rain didn’t keep plenty of people away from Families Branching Out Expo at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol.

The event, now in its second year, is sponsored by the Kenosha County Association for Home & Community Education, a group that presents educational programs on a variety of topics throughout the year.

Expo activities included seminars on water safety, the Kenosha County 4-H Small Animal Project, internet safety, the services of the Sharing Center, practicing peace with Peace Learning Circles, line dancing, and more. Vendor booths offered information about a wide range of organizations from across Kenosha County.
