The Hastings Spring Fair is made possible by the generosity of our community sponsors!
The Spring Fair is the PACs biggest Fundraiser and Community event of the year. All proceeds, after expenses, go to important initiatives that support the kids of Hastings Elementary school with classroom supplies, technology, art projects, field trips and more.
Join us Friday, May 9th from 3-5.30pm, rain or shine, for the Hastings Community Elementary School Spring Fair. This is a community event and everyone is welcome. This event wouldn’t be possible without the support of local businesses, community sponsors, toy donations and many many volunteers. Thank you to everyone who supports the Spring Fair!

The Spring Fair is Hastings PAC’s biggest fundraiser and community event of the year—and we’d love your support!
Where do the funds go? Straight into our school—supporting classroom supplies, art, tech, field trips and more.
Ways to get involved:
🙋♀️ Volunteer – We need 40–60 amazing helpers to keep things running smoothly. SIGN UP HERE to grab a shift. There are lots of opportunities to help out throughout the day!
🎁 Make a Jolly Jar – Fan fave alert! Fill a jar with goodies or join a lunchtime jar-making session at school (TBA) with Jolly Jar Queen Meg Roe.
🎪 Sponsor a Game or Activation – Are you a local biz owner? Support your community AND get visibility with local families! Email Jenn: jenn@wintcommunications.com for tiered sponsorship options.
🎟 Donate Tickets – Buy a pack of 10 or 20 and gift them to another family. Spread the joy!
🧸 Toys Needed! – Spring clean + support the fair = win-win. Donate gently used toys, puzzles, or games (no books, please). Drop-off box by the office.
We can’t wait to see you there! It’s going to be a blast! 🌸
This is your friendly reminder that the Hastings PAC is hosting the very popular Burger & Bevvie Night at The Princeton, and tickets are selling fast! And read on for a sneak peek at the song catalogue 😉

This is a wonderful way to meet other parents and caregivers.
