55th Annual Bluemont Fair Announces Poster Design Winner

BLUEMONT, VA — Organizers of the 55th Annual Bluemont Fair, which will be held September 20-21, 2025, are pleased to announce the winner of this year’s poster design contest: Addie Moore of The Springhouse Studio. A resident of Hillsboro, in western Loudoun County, Virginia, Moore is the artist who created the beautiful “Purcellville” mural on the side of the Purcellville Family Restaurant. When not creating art, Moore can be found with her nose in a book or playing with her dogs. She can be reached through Instagram: @the.springhousestudio.

Moore’s design beautifully reflects this year’s fair theme: “200th Anniversary of the Snickersville Academy.” Built in 1825, this charming log structure, which sits on the banks of Butchers Branch, served as the village’s first one-room school and church. Lovingly restored in 2010 with a community-maintained walking lane, bridge, and garden, the Snickersville Academy serves as a focal point of Bluemont’s early history. Moore’s rendering was selected from a crowded field of wonderfully creative submissions by artists of all ages from throughout the region. Capturing much of what makes Bluemont such a special place in Northern Virginia, Moore’s design will grace the Bluemont Fair’s distinctive poster, T-shirt, and other fair memorabilia.

The Bluemont Fair is a Loudoun County tradition held every third weekend in September (except 2020, due to the pandemic) since 1969. For more information about the Bluemont Fair, visit bluemontfair.org, @bluemontfair on Instagram, Bluemont Fair on Facebook, or call (540) 554-2367.
