Families Branching Out (FBO) is a free, multi-generational family-friendly event for everyone. There is no charge to attend and there is no solicitation or selling. Everyone can participate in make ‘n take activities, maybe have their vision screened, register their child’s ID, or learn about resources in the community. FBO is a hands-on community expo which aims to strengthen families and provide useful community resource information.
Our emphasis is to provide a half day of activities for all ages where they can come and learn new things, have fun, and walk away with a heartwarming experience. There are indoor and outdoor activities.
