KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The Department of Human Services in Kalamazoo held a first of its kind job fair Tuesday, expecting about three-hundred job seekers to to show up.  Instead, those seeking work were lined up outside before the event even opened.

By the time the day ended, officials decided to keep the fair running a little longer than anticipated to accommodate the eleven-hundred who turned out.  The department's already planning to hold another job fair.
