2005 Family Fun Fair

The Oberlin Heritage Center served as the hub for the Lorain County Family Fun Fair on August 6, 2005.
As always, the Fair introduced young children and their parents to a wide variety of services,
organizations, and activities for children and parents in Lorain County, while providing lots of fun activities and entertainment.
Children of all ages were able to enjoy old-fashioned fun and games on the grounds of the Oberlin Heritage Center,
and the first floor of the Monroe House and the Little Red Schoolhouse were open for self-guided walk-through tours.
Lots of friends stopped by our grounds, played games, asked questions, and
entered a drawing for a gift basket, courtesy of Trader Joe's.
We also got a surprise visit from Brother and Sister Bear, of the Berenstain Bears family.
Result: lots of smiles, fun, and learning!
