Fearing’s, an established AV and surveillance system integration company, successfully undertook a monumental task in 2019. Our largest customer, Kalahari Resorts, entrusted us with the integration of AV, business alarm systems, control points, and structured cabling for their newest convention center near Madison and Milwaukee in Wisconsin Dells, known as the waterpark capital of the world. We were trusted with this project due to the longstanding relationship between Fearing’s and the Kalahari dating back to the resort’s launch in 2000. The size of the project and the technology used strengthened Kalahari’s position as the premier waterpark resort in the United States.

The Fearing’s legacy is defined by the difference we’ve made and continue to make for our many partners like Kalahari. Understanding needs and delivering exceptional products and service continues to lead us down the road to successful, long-term partnerships.
