Fair FAQ

Basic information about the Spring Fair

  • The Spring Fair is the largest school event and fundraiser for the CLES PTA.

    There will be several fun carnival style game booths, inflatables, food for purchase, a crafts station, face painting, temporary tattoos, photo opportunities, bake sale, silent auction, raffle, and more.

  • Saturday, May 17, 2025, 11am-3pm

    No rain date.

  • On the CLES grounds, with attractions both indoors and outdoors.

  • The fair is open to the entire CLES community, friends and family, as well as all Howard County neighbors at large.

  • There is no cost to enter the fair, but tickets (or a wrist-band pass) must be purchased to participate in most fair activities.

    The wrist-band pass will allow its holder one-time participation in most activities, and some unlimited activities. A few activities will be tickets only.

  • Tickets will be available for purchase BOTH before and at the fair.

    Some tickets/wristbands will also be raffled during school lunches on Fair Fridays.

    Before/Pre-Order (at a discount)

    There will be an option to pre-order tickets and/or a wrist band pass at a discount. In the weeks prior to the fair, look for the flyer in your child’s folder and for CLES emails for details.

    At the Fair

    There will be several sites to purchase tickets at the fair.

  • The Fridays in May, leading up to the Spring fair are designated as "Fair Fridays."

    All CLES students and staff are encouraged to participate by wearing red clothing, or any color CLES Spirit wear to school on Fair Friday.

    Anyone who participates will be entered into a raffle drawing for a chance to win a prize during lunch time and also earn one raffle entry for the Grand prize: a Spring Fair wristband!

    Participate in all Fair Fridays to increase your chances of winning the Grand prize!

  • It takes many volunteers to run the Spring Fair! There are many ways to help and different levels of involvement to fit your schedule.
