The Grind League hosted its second annual 3x3 Basketball Tournament and Community Togetherness Fest at Oakwood Park on September 4 and 5. The event featured various family-friendly activities, including musical acts, artwork displays, a bounce house for the kids, and an array of food and retail vendors. The City of Lorain supported the three-on-three basketball portion, and the International Basketball Foundation (FIBA) endorsed the event. FIBA is the world governing body for basketball that organizes and oversees international competitions, including the Olympic Basketball Tournaments. The Play FIBA 3x3 campaign endorsement promotes playground basketball play on local courts.

The two-day event provided the opportunity to showcase the beauty of Lorain County right here in our backyard. Locals and leaders from all sides of town, including Mayor Jack Bradley and 6th Ward City Councilman Rey Carrion, showed their support by attending the fest. One vendor, Relic Clothing III, pulled up to the park for the two days, bringing their unique vintage camper and the refreshed 80s and 90s fashion they offer in various styles.
