Welcome to the VGF 2013!

Welcome to VGF 2013 where we will be “Going For Gold at Village Green”!!

Village Green Fair got its start in 1967 as a white elephant sale!

Years later, VGF has evolved to become the largest fundraiser of the Parent’s Association. Thanks to you – the parents – we are able to raise money for Smart Boards, the Capital Campaign and most recently, the flooring of Fort Cougar and renovation of the Reed-Gumenick Library. We appreciate all you do to help VGF be a success! From the baking and volunteering, to coming out on Fair Day with your family – we thank you for being Gold Medal Parents!

This year’s Fair – #46 – will open with Spirit Night at Chik-fil-A on April 3. The Fair weekend continues with the traditions of games, rides, snow cones, Gold Fish Toss, shopping and more!

We are also excited to welcome a Richmond Favorite, Sally Bell’s Kitchen, for Friday Frolic boxed lunches.

Your VGF packet contains everything needed for an awardwinning experience! We look forward to seeing you on April 19th & 20th !

Maureen Stepanian and Beth Fallon
