MLES hosts Renaissance Faire

Mt Laurel families had no trouble finding something to do this Friday night.

Many families flocked to Mt Laurel Elementary School on Sept. 29 for the school's annual Renaissance Faire. The Renaissance Faire is the MLES PTO's largest annual fundraiser, bringing in money through ticket sales and a silent auction.

The night of activities included a bounce house, inflatable slide and wipe-out style game, as well as a rock wall, elevated swings and the "Tubs of Fun," a spinning ride. In addition to rides, students could have their faces painted, hair styled and nails painted, and families could buy dinner from one of the several food vendors on site. 

There was also a silent auction online, which raised thousands of dollars before the night even started, and local businesses with booths set up in the gymnasium.
