Walworth County Division of Public Health has partnered with community organizations to help distribute box fans throughout the county. With increasing temperatures and humidity comes an increase in risk for heat related injuries.

  • Darien Public Library, 47 Park St.;
  • Aram Public Library, 404 E. Walworth Ave., Delavan;
  • East Troy Village Hall, 2015 Energy Dr.;
