Carnival Game, Casino Night & Party Rentals in Ravenna, OH
The Portage County seat, est. 1799Every September, Ravenna throws what organizers call one of the longest-running festivals of its kind in Ohio. The Balloon A-Fair fills downtown with a children’s parade, a Saturday Grand Parade of more than 125 units and live music, then moves out to the fairgrounds for a hot air balloon launch and fireworks. It started to honor Oak Rubber, once the world’s largest toy balloon maker. Game Craze brings that festival feeling to your yard, school or church, and our crew handles delivery, setup and teardown.
