The Bon Air Elementary School PTA will host the 18th annual “Bon Air Village Fair and Silent Auction” on Saturday, Oct. 9, from 10 am - 3 pm on the school grounds.  The family-friendly event will feature D.J. Chris Knight, hay rides, carnival-style games, fair-style food, giant inflatables, and performances by the Minds in Motion XXL student dance group and the Legacy School of Dance (formerly Martinique School of Dance).  Event sponsors include Pence Subaru and Hairfield Morton Attorneys. Admission to the fair and the auction is free.

“So many Bon Air families look forward to the Village Fair and we are thrilled to continue this community tradition for the eighteenth year,” says Emily Purdum, Bon Air Village Fair Chairperson.” The Big Bon Air Auction inside the school will feature items donated by local and regional businesses including hotel stays, arts and crafts, restaurant vouchers, children’s items, etc. The auction is silent, but always exciting!

Bruce Tetlow, Principal of Bon Air Elementary, said, “We are always amazed by the level of local support we receive for the Bon Air Village Fair. The funds raised at this annual event help our PTA to provide enrichment programs and resources that add to the vitality of our school and ultimately, to our community.” Leigh Herrman, Bon Air PTA president added, “With the recent county budget cuts, the funds raised from this event will be more important than ever. Every dollar we earn will truly make a difference for Bon Air students this year.”
