The Kenosha County Association for Home and Community Education (HCE) is proud to announce its 5th Annual Families Branching Out Expo, a day dedicated to community connection, family fun, and education. This free event will take place on Saturday, April 25th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Kenosha County Center, located at the northeast corner of Hwys 50 and 45 in Bristol.
The Expo is designed to be a completely non-commercial event—there will be no solicitation or selling—ensuring a stress-free environment for families to explore over 45 diverse exhibits and engaging activities.
Event Highlights Include:
For the Youth: A free backpack of goodies for attendees, free hot dogs and chips for kids, and appearances by a fire truck and the Bookmobile.
Health & Safety: On-site child ID services, vision screenings, and a demonstration by the Sheriff’s K-9 Unit.
Interactive Fun: Opportunities for “Make & Take” projects, Kenosha HCE craft sessions, and reading time with the County Fairest of the Fair.
Community Engagement: Numerous handouts, raffles, and giveaways throughout the day.
In addition to the main Expo, the event will feature the “Safe Kids/Strong Families Run Walk,” sponsored by the Prevention Services Network. Those interested in participating in the run/walk should contact the Prevention Services Network directly at 262-697-4689.
The event also supports broader community initiatives, including information on the Drug Take-Back Program in Kenosha County. Attendees are encouraged to help feed the local community by bringing a non-perishable food item to be donated to The Sharing Center.
“We look forward to welcoming families to the 5th annual Expo,” said the event organizers. “It is a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together for a day of learning, safety, and fun.”
