Free Park Expo

Join our FREE family friendly Park Expo on Saturday, April 30, 2011, 11a.m. to 3p.m. rain or shine, at the Humble Park Community Center (2200 Blaine Avenue) to learn about our great parks and many other local organizations that offer diverse programs and activities in Racine County.

There will be a free drawing for many items, including:

• A child’s bicycle valued at $320 from Racine Cyclery
• Summer camp program at the Racine Family YMCA
• Racine Zoo family fun pack
• Football game tickets
• Sports equipment
• Gift certificates for area recreational opportunities, and much more!

Interactive programs will include athletic clinics and games, informational booths representing more than 25 groups, sporting demonstrations (Racine Threat football, tennis, zumba lesson, RASA soccer, and more) environmental education and food. Organizations will offer information about upcoming programs as well as onsite registration and discounts.

Safety Town, another Leadership Racine project, will be on-site to offer children a fun, hands-on way to learn about bike, street and personal safety in a kid-sized town. The age-appropriate curriculum covers topics including crossing the street, bike safety and learning what information to share in an emergency situation. Youngsters will be fitted with bike helmets to ride bikes on Safety Town’s streets and receive safety gift bags. Safety Town's team mission is to offer community organizations a ready-to-use program to teach youngsters important life skills.

Leadership Racine’s Team “Rectify” partnered with the City of Racine’s Humble Park Community Center to host this Expo so that Racine County residents may learn about the many local recreational opportunities for families and expand awareness of local parks and resources.

Established in 1997, Leadership Racine is a collaborative program of the Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce, Racine Community Foundation and United Way of Racine County. The program recruits promising leaders and helps prepare them for positions of public influence and decision making in the Racine area. These leaders will help ensure a promising future for our community.
