Pine Banks Hosting Fairy House Festival Today

By MONICA MEDEIROS

Malden Ward Five City Councillor Barbara Murphy invites Melrosians to come to the third Fairy House Festival from Noon to 4pm, this Saturday, August 26, 2017 at Pine Banks Park.

“The Fairy House Festival is a time for families to unplug, get creative and enjoy the natural
habitat of Pine Banks Park,” said Councillor Murphy. “Building a house for nature’s friends engages the imagination and creates a sense of joy and pride.”

The event will feature a Builder’s Workshop where children will be able to use their imagination and all natural materials to build homes for fairies and nature’s other friends including hobbits, elves, gnomes
or trolls. All participants will receive an official Fairy House Builder’s Certificate.

Pre-made Fairy Houses already submitted as contest entries by many individuals and groups will be on display at the event as part of the “Fairy House Walk.” Story hour with Dora St. Martin, director of the Malden Public Library will be held at 1 pm.

USA National Miss Massachusetts JR Teen Emma Smith-Bezan will be a Special Guest. Music will be performed by the Malden High School Chamber Orchestra members.

Attendees are invited to bring a picnic lunch, enjoy the natural habitat and enjoy the afternoon.
