Springfield Elks Lodge 1560 held their 2 nd Annual Fall Festival this month on Saturday, October 5 th on a
glorious VT Fall foliage weekend. The event was well attended by members, the community and families
who wanted to stop by have some fun and see all the things this active Lodge does.
This year’s Fall Festival was spearheaded once again by our very own Erin Harvey whose dedication and
enthusiasm with her tremendous team of volunteers made this such a success. They say it takes a
‘village’ and this event is proof of that. From the wide array of donated Baskets for the Baskets Raffles, to
those who donated all the yummy baked goods, the crew who helped set up, those who manned the
various stations throughout the day, and breaking down at the end – this ‘village’ got it done, representing
the Elk motto ~ Elks Care – Elks Share ~.
The kids were all smiles with many options from the Bouncy House to the Arts & Crafts Activity area, and
a visit from Elroy. The adults enjoyed Bingo, a huge Basket Raffle, the Bake Sale and Raffles galore. All
enjoyed the Food Truck, and our BBQ area with Live music. This event lets us tell all who attend just what
it is we do.
This is an annual event, so don’t miss us next year for the 3 rd Fall Festival at Springfield Elks Lodge 1560.
