Family fun in Dublin

A popular event is returning to Dublin.

Meijer is presenting the Columbus Children's Festival, which has a wide variety of fun activities for everyone. These include a bounce park, pony rides, barrel train, rock ‘n roll tumbler ride, carousel, mini golf, carnival games, and entertainment including a dog show, a magician, and more.

There are several contests, including the Best Buckeye Outfit contest and the Columbus Talent Contest. There will be information about summer camps, classes and programs for children, sports competitions, and a variety of food trucks.

When they register, attendees can choose one of three options, Diamond, Gold, and Everything Pass. The Diamond entry is free, and covers admission for the whole family, early admission at 10.00 am, plus a VIP bag, and is limited to 300 registrants. The Gold entry is also free, limited to 400 registrants, and includes 11.00 am general admission entry. The Everything Pass is $18, and includes a 10.00 am early entry, a VIP bag, a Fun Pass, a character breakfast with bagels or donuts, ten activity tickets, and an all-day pass to the Bounce Park. Additional fun activities are available for small additional fees.

The festival will take place June 17 at SportsOhio on Cosgray Road in Dublin. The hours are from 10am until 4pm. The first 200 attendees will receive a complimentary treat from Tim Hortons. When organizers put together an event like this, they can use banner printing to create signage identifying attractions.
