Peeps art contest, Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and kringle make the Racine-Kenosha area a fun-filled and delicious destination

I always factor in a little shopping time, too, but not just because of Pleasant Prairie outlet mall’s 90-some stores, near the Illinois border. Open Saturdays all year is Kenosha Public Market (about 30 indoor vendors selling baked goods, meals, artisan food products and crafts). At Seven Mile Fair, north of Racine and open on weekends, is a maze of trash-to-treasure flea market merchandise with a strong sense of Hispanic heritage.
