The Jewish Community Center will hold the 26th Annual Tour de Fun onSunday, Sept. 11 at the J’s Staenberg Family Complex, 2 Millstone Campus Drive. Planned by a committee of local dads, the event aims to offer action-packed fun for children age 10 and under and their families.

Entertainers will perform throughout the event, including musician/comedian Babaloo and Rhythm ‘N’ Ruach and juggler and comic Joe Fingerhut. In addition, “Juggling Jeff” will be wandering the crowd to entertain children attending.
