Discover Your Brown County Blitz Weekend

Brown County has some of the most amazing resources, businesses, organizations and activities for a community of its size.  Many residents are not aware of these wonderful resources, so the Brown County Chamber of Commerce, Brown County YMCA and Brown County Wellness groups have collaborated to produce an amazing weekend of events presenting a wealth of information to residents and our neighboring communities.

Each of the groups are hosting their own event, offering groups an opportunity to promote their services and what they offer to the residents of Brown County. Booth spaces will be available each day, and will be based on a first come, first serve basis.  General admission to all three events is free.

The Family Fair is an annual event held at the YMCA, focusing on health and social services for the families of Brown County.  There will be demonstrations, developmental and health screenings, and activities for the children, food will be available for purchase.
