Flanders will become
inhabited by the “wee folk” on Saturday, July 16 from 10AM to 3PM. Faeries are mystical little people who
inhabit the land, living in harmony with nature.
It will be a magical day of viewing faerie houses that
will enchant the trails and grounds of the nature center located at 5 Church
Hill Road in Woodbury. There will be music, vendors, kid’s activities, food
with a magical twist, roaming musicians, and faerie dancing. The magic
continues with a
Costume Contest and Faerie & Wizard Parade, a live owl
presentation and woodcarvers on site creating wizard staffs and wands!
Admission to the festival is $6.00 per person and free
for children aged 2 and under.
Participants are invited to build their own
Faerie/Wizard house for display at the festival. Each participant will have a 4
foot by 4 foot outdoor space, in which to display the miniature home and
“landscaping.”
Organizers suggest working with a base structure, which could be
a bird house or milk carton, adding “towers” and “turrets,” using paper towel
tubes or tooth paste boxes and decorating inside and out with natural
materials, highlighted by artificial flowers, doll house furniture or other
creative elements. Houses must be set up between 8 and 10 a.m. on July 16 at
Flanders. Ribbons will be awarded in various categories for the best designed
faerie dwellings.
