For the sixth year in a row, North Shore Bank is the presenting and stage sponsor of the Fox Cities Kidz Expo, and the Appleton branch would love to enlist a few more volunteers to help the event shine. The Kidz Expo will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, 355 W. Lawrence St., in Appleton. This year’s theme is “Rock Around the World”.

About 7,000 people show up for the free day of activities for kids, said Lacee Kalepp, Assistant Vice President and Community Engagement Manager. “It’s a fun, well-run, educational experience for kids and the whole family,” she said. “Kids get to interact at every one of the 70 booths.”

Plenty of fun things are planned at North Shore Bank’s booth, including the North Shore Bank Polaroid photo station, where kids can pose with props like flags and passports in front of a backdrop with scenes from around the world, and a postcard coloring station.

Aubrey Abrahamson, Allouez Assistant Branch Manager, will emcee the event on the stage, and present about North Shore Bank six times during the day. In addition to her presentations, the stage will host Hmong dancers, drummers, science and martial arts exhibitions, and more.

As the presenting sponsor, North Shore Bank volunteers will be handing out green bags to guests that they can use as they move about the event, collecting items at the booths.

Lacee said anyone who would like to volunteer to help with the event is welcome. She needs people to help with the photos, coloring station, and handing out the North Shore Bank bags. She’s also looking for someone to dress up as Seymour for the afternoon shift, 11:30-2.

If you have the time and would like to help out, reach out to Lacee!
