![The Fall Food Faire, the first of two annual food faires, occurred at lunch on Nov. 18 on the senior law. Ventura High School clubs sold food items to raise funds for their respective clubs. Clubs that participated in the event organized tables from which they sold food. ASB’s student affairs committee organized the faire. ASB Student Affairs President Caylin Mobley ’23 said, “The purpose of the Food Faire is for clubs to raise money for their various expenses, as well as an opportunity for the school to come together and enjoy a fun Friday afternoon. Personally, I love the Food Faire. It’s one of my favorite events at [VHS], and the opportunity to plan it has been a blast. I love seeing everyone enjoying the food and hanging out with their friends — it creates a sense of community you can’t find anywhere else.” Photo by: Adi De Clerck](https://thecougarpress.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/1-AH-AD-Food-Faire-900x600.jpg)
