This weekend is the end of the annual Fun Frolic in Bloomington. If you don’t know, the Fun Frolic is “a family-friendly Bloomington tradition since 1957, the Fun Frolic features rides, games, amusements and traditional carnival food. Proceeds benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana and IU Child Care.”

What some might not have known is that John Mellencamp used the Fun Frolic as the setting for his 1985 music video for “Lonely Ol’ Night” (embedding was disabled :( )

Something cool I learned yesterday from my mom is that my Uncle Ray is actually in the video! Check him and his then-girlfriend out at around 2:46

I thought it was a little trivia that should be shared with the world. I don’t know how I never heard about the Fun Frolic until this year or how I’d gone my entire life without knowing my uncle was in a music video!
