2026 Registration is NOW OPEN!
Dear Agency Representative,
We are happy to announce that our Racine County Special Needs Resource Fair will be held on April 21, 2026 from 4:30-7:00pm. We decided to keep the slightly longer time frame to allow families more opportunity to explore the resource fair tables.
Exciting news this year - we have a NEW LOCATION of Burlington High School, located at 400 McCanna Parkway, Burlington, Wisconsin!! This NEW LOCATION offers plenty of space and more available parking!
The Racine County Special Needs Resource Fair is organized by multiple school districts in Racine County, along with the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). By attending the Resource Fair, you will have the opportunity to share information about your agency with parents/caregivers, community members, and educators/school staff who either have, or work with, children ages birth to twenty-one, with a physical, cognitive, social, emotional, learning, developmental, mental health, or behavioral disability.
Please RSVP by March 20, 2026 so we can include your agency name in communication that will be sent to families and community members. Earlier RSVPs are also appreciated! There is NO FEE for participating in the resource fair.
Please bring any information/brochures/flyers and give-away items (fidgets, stickers, other "swag") you have for families to take with them. And, if you would like to bring a door prize, please feel free to do so. Every individual/family who attends the resource fair will receive a promotional bag supplied by ADRC (while supplies last) so they have a place to carry all the great information they receive.
If you have an item or flyer about your agency that you would like added to our promotional bags ahead of time (or if your agency is not able to attend the event, but want your information included), please send the items/information to: Amy Anhold, c/o PAC House, 340 Church Street, Burlington, WI 53105. Please send items before April 13, 2026.
Set-up for the resource fair is from 3:30pm-4:30pm. Tear down/pack-up STARTS at 7:00pm. Additional information will be sent as the event gets closer regarding where you will unload your items and park your vehicle.
We will have primarily 6 ft rectangular tables available for agencies, if a table is needed. If you are planning to bring your own table, we will have volunteers available to help you bring the table to your space.
We have made an effort to reach as many agencies as possible, but may have missed some. Please feel free to share this information with others in your network. Each year, we continue to grow in the number of agencies who attend.
Please register for a table spot by filling out this google form.
We hope you will join us so we can help connect as many children, families, and educators, and staff to resources and supportive services in the community. Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you on April 21, 2026 at our NEW LOCATION OF Burlington High School, located at 400 McCanna Parkway in Burlington.
