Visit with fairies and elves at wildlife park

GRAY — Maine Wildlife Park visitors will be able to meet and have their pictures taken with “real” fairies and elves from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 24 and 25. Fairies will take over a corner of the picnic area with decorations, a build-your-own fairy house workshop and a decorated life-size fairy house. After building their own fairy house using a diverse collection of forest materials, kids can take their creations home with them.

“Enchanted Forests” is made possible by long-time park volunteers who work throughout the year to prepare for the event. Families work to create the fairy house, costumes and make-and-take fairy homes and staff the two-day event. And “Thistle,” the now famous wildlife park fairy, will again be at the park for the whole event.

Additional fairy-making and decorating materials will be for sale at the fairy house.
