Family Fun Fairs, like the one taking place today in downtown Oberlin, all have some similar elements: face painting, crafts, bounce houses, laser tag, kids entertainers such as clowns, musicians and balloon artists.
But Oberlin means it when they say “family.” The 24th annual Oberlin Family Fun Fair includes a classic car show and crafts and product vendors for parents, an Oberlin Firemen dunk tank for charity, dancing music from DJs and a live band, and of course food, provided by Oberlin restaurants. It’s a “family” event you can enjoy even if you don’t have kids.
And even for kids, there’s some stuff you don’t normally find at most fairs. This one will feature “bubble soccer,” in which participants done inflatable “bubbles.” There’s also a “Big Wheel” contest for the littlest kids ages 3-8, and a hula hoop conest for their older brothers and sisters, ages 8-17.
