Costco to Host Book Signing For Kenosha

KENOSHA, Wis. - July 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing For Kenosha

Local author, Jennifer Billock,  pens book on the past 70 years, many images in color

Kenosha is a suburb of both Chicago and Milwaukee, and it draws visitors from both metro areas and from all over the United States. An historic downtown, frequent community events and a fierce dedication to the arts have catapulted the city into tourism stardom. Although big businesses have steadily come and gone, the residential population remains strong. From family-owned stores that have been downtown for nearly 100 years, to a vintage streetcar system still in use, to a new minor-league baseball team, residents put their entire hearts into maintaining the city’s culture and pride.

Highlights of Kenosha include:

·         Photographs and information on many places that you can still visit today

·         A special treat for baseball fans – there is a lot of information about the Kenosha Kingfish and the Kenosha Comets

·         Information on the War on Simmons Island, which many people know nothing about
