Community Fun Fest coming June 15

On Saturday, June 15, Downtown Eaton will host its third annual free “Community Fun Fest,” and organizers say it will be the best one yet.

From 4-8 p.m. downtown Eaton will come alive with a carnival/street fair atmosphere to delight all ages. There will be games, vendors and food trucks, children’s inflatables, live music from Tyler Michael Walton and the Mayflower Satchel — and even a chance to zipline down Main Street. Other activities are expected to be added.

This year’s Community Fun Fest coincides with the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure group’s stay in Eaton at the Preble County Fairgrounds for this year’s GOBA ride. Over 1,500 riders from across the country have registered for that ride so far, according to officials, and those individuals are being bused downtown for the party.

Community Fun Fest is a nice way for local families to spend quality time together having fun, and with guests in town with GOBA, downtown Eaton will be hopping.

Vendor spots are still available for this event, as well as volunteer opportunities, according to organizers. Anyone wanting to volunteer can email events@downtowneatoninc.org. Vendors can call 937-680-8199 for more information.
