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.

Jacob, of Salem Lakes, was with his mom, Samantha Kurtz. Also, Cambrie Schultz, 8, or Pleasant Prairie, decorates a miniature sailboat at one of the activity stations.
Residents of Kenosha County affected by the recent flooding are encouraged to utilize free well-testing services offered by Kenosha County, now extended through May 8th.
