Hernando Optimist Club By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in kids. – Optimist Mission Statement

The Hernando Optimist Club is making preparations for the 43nd Annual A’Fair in Hernando. Over the past 42 years the festival has grown from just a few booths and a small crowd to over 250 booths and nearly 10,000 visitors. It is the largest community event in our county. Each year our community looks forward to our annual arts and crafts festival to welcome Spring, purchase local arts and crafts and visit with friends and visitors. Our city reaps the benefits of visitors from other cities in our county and the tri- state region.

We would like to invite you to participate as a sponsor of the 2016 A’Fair in Hernando!

Proceeds of the A’Fair benefit over 1,000 children in our community by their participation in our activities, events and donations, and we hope that you will be a part of this event so that we can continue to increase the number of lives we touch.

We have enclosed sponsorship information for you that outlines the benefits of the various sponsorship levels including advertising and booth space.

The Hernando Optimist Club is a member of the Optimist International Organization. For more information regarding the International Organization please go to www.optimistinternational.org.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us.

Sincerely,
