New this year to the Brockport Arts Festival is a Family Fun Area with activities and entertainment that will please festival goers of all ages. This new addition to the festival will be located on the lawn of the Morgan Manning House which is located on Main Street in downtown Brockport. Activities and entertainment are geared for folks of all ages; this area is not just for families.
Admission and activities are free. Stop by the Family Fun Area throughout the weekend and you’ll find jugglers, balloon artists, even someone who can spin tops. Many of the activities focus on 19th century toys and games.
Judy Jensen is the chairperson of the Family Fun Area and she explained how this idea came to fruition.
“The Family Fun Area evolved from a suggestion that activities be offered at the Morgan Manning House. As we continued to discuss this thought, it developed into an area that the whole family could enjoy,” Jensen explained.
So whether you are two, 22 or 82, you are sure to find something at the Family Fun Area that brings a smile to your face. Besides who can resist a balloon animal?
