THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SPRING FAIR!

THANK YOU, BUTLER!

What an incredible Butler Spring Fair! We are so grateful to our amazing Butler community for coming out, supporting, and filling the day with so much joy and energy.

A huge thank you to our dedicated committee chairs for all the time and heart they poured into planning, our awesome volunteers, and all the Butler staff who dedicated their time and helped make all the fun happen.

From games and food trucks to raffle baskets and face painting, from our silent auction to our brand new Butler Spin & Win, every part of the fair brought something special! With fun prizes, spirit wear, indoor treats, fantastic signage, volunteer check in, punch card sales, musical cakes, fish, fun jars, and so much more! There was definitely excitement and fun around every corner!
