Oddmall: Inside Out
May 4, 2024 11:00 AM –10:00 PM
Overview
It’s Oddmall’s BIGGEST SHOW EVER!!!!!! It’s called Inside Out because there will be all sorts of great things happening both INSIDE and OUTSIDE of the venue. TWO entertainment stages, an exotic animal expo, outdoor games, Food Trucks, and hundreds of artists, entertainers, cosplayers, crafters, and purveyors of games, comics, toys, collectibles, and all things strange, weird, unusual, geeky, bizarre, imaginative, and wonderful!
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE! There are vendors, entertainment stages, and other great things to do both INSIDE and OUTSIDE! This is also pretty great and is worthy of even more exclamation points!!!!!
The acrobats of Circus Inversus will be performing continuously in front of the main entrance to the Exhibition Hall at Oddmall: Inside Out on Friday (and possibly Saturday). You don’t want to miss them. It’s pretty epic.
ZOO ODD LOGY! It’s the Oddmall reptile and exotic animal show! Vendors selling (legal) reptiles and other exotic animals are invited to participate. We’ll have live animal educational demonstrations and vendors selling a wide variety of pets and pet accessories (I hope you inadvertently read that last part with Hank Hill’s voice).
Our friends from Battlegrounds to Boardgames and Ohio Gaming Alliance will have a variety of board games and other tabletop games for you to play at booths 28-32. There will also be miniature painting, roleplaying games, and other snazzy diversions.
COSTUME CONTEST! Of course there will be a costume contest. In fact, the winner of Best-in-Show will earn a FREE BADGE to Con on the Cob 2024! It happens at 3:00pm Saturday and Sunday on the outdoor stage. No need to preregister; just show up in costume 15 minutes beforehand and we’ll get things going!!!!
ARTS & FARTS: Oddmall: Inside Out will be hosting the first ever ODDMALL ARTS & FARTS Caravan of FOOD TRUCKS! Everybody loves food trucks. It’s a known fact. Oddmall: Inside Out will be host to several. Get your grub on for both LUNCH and DINNER! Oddmall judges will be sampling the fare of each grub-slinger and handing out awards for their favorite.
THE KBC KIDZ “MORE FUN THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE” SQUAT OF EXCITEMENT: Our pals at KBC Kidz will be onsite with giant inflatables, obstacle courses, slides, costumed characters, and a vast assortment of incredible things (wristband required).
OUTDOOR GAMES: Enjoy such diversions as GIANT CROQUET! REGULAR-SIZED CROQUET! BADMINTON! VOLLEYBALL! and other fun snazz, jazz, razz, and razzamatazz!
AXE THROWING! Oh, man! Our new friends from Grab That Axe will be outside with their state-of-the-art axe-throwing trailer. To clarify, the trailer itself does not throw axes. It’s the people in the trailer that throw the axes (at targets, not each other). You could be one of them!
This will be the first Oddmall show to feature a special area dedicated to nonprofit organizations and local businesses who want to promote themselves with carnival games or other fun experiences. If you are a local business or nonprofit who would like to participate please contact Andy at andy@andyhopp.com.
The stalwart warriors of Aelimor will be hosting The Aelimor Fighting Pit, a brutal arena where guests of all ages can engage in fierce combat where survival is decided by their wits, skill at arms, and the incompetence of their opponent. I’m overstating the danger for the sake of drama. All weapons are safe, foam-covered, and super cool.
Oddmall: Inside Out is host to THE ODDMALL NIGHT MARKET. This is a snazzy way of saying it’s open into the evening.
