Harvest Faire 2011

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for Harvest Faire 2011!  We would especially like to thank all of our volunteers for so graciously donating their time, energy, money, and materials — we couldn’t have done it without you!  It was a truly magical day that many will remember for years to come.  Please enjoy some of our favorite photos from the event:

The Wise Woman created dream pouches for each child.

The Pocket Lady with her pockets full of treasures!

The Village Candlemaker helped children dip their own beeswax candles.

After passing the Wizard's tests, each new wizard was rewarded with a crystal that allows them to talk to owls.

The Village Blacksmith helped children forge a coin.

Activities included making lanterns and leaf rubbings.

Children assist Mr. Andreas and Ms. Lisa with the Harvest Faire sing-a-long!

The Village Farmer shares the fruits of his labor and teaches children about life on the farm!

The success of this year’s Harvest Faire would not have been possible without all of our wonderful community members.  Thanks again, and we can’t wait to see you next year!
