55th Annual Bluemont Fair Announces Poster Design Winner

Organizers of the 55th Annual Bluemont Fair, to 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, Addie is the artist who created the beautiful Purcellville mural on the side of the Purcellville Family Restaurant. When not creating art, Addie can be found with her nose in a book or playing with her dogs. She can be reached through Instagram: @the.springhousestudio.

Addie’s design beautifully reflects the 2025 Fair theme: “200th Anniversary of the Snickersville Academy.” Built in 1825, this charming log structure—located on the banks of Butchers Branch—served as the village’s first one-room school and church. Lovingly restored in 2010, it now features a community-maintained walking lane, bridge, and garden. The Snickersville Academy remains a focal point of Bluemont’s early history.

Addie’s rendering was selected from a crowded field of wonderfully creative submissions by artists of all ages from across the region. Capturing much of what makes Bluemont such a special place in Northern Virginia, her design will be featured on the Bluemont Fair’s distinctive poster, T-shirt, and other memorabilia.

The Bluemont Fair is a Loudoun County tradition, held every third weekend in September (except in 2020, due to the pandemic) since 1969.
