The much-beloved Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation Fairy House Festival looked a little different this year, but the impish tiny creatures still captivated kids with stretching their imaginations at the county’s 4 Nature Centers. Fairy Wing photo ops and Fairy Geocaching let kids explore the Nature Center grounds, while a week-long Fairy House Story Walk and Fairy House Building Contest entertained them and put their creativity to the test.
Pictures submitted to the Park & Rec social media pages reflected the fun! Almost 35,000 viewers saw the photos on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
“We are happy our patrons have continued to engage with us, even as we had to move online,” says Liz Morrell, Management Analyst at Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation. “Our patrons have met the challenge of participating virtually, and we’ve done what we can to make it accessible and enjoyable for them.”
This is the 4th virtual festival MCP&R has hosted in the last year, including the Hummingbird Festival and Nature at Night. Check out some of the adorable “fairies” who submitted photos:
