My experiences with faeries have varied from those in the forest, to those in the water (particularly the White River), to those in my bonfires that aren't hardly even visible until you take a picture and discover faces in the fire (which is considerably higher in the photo than it actually was when it was taken). I sometimes hear their music playing not-so-far away and even receive occasional harassment to leave them treats outside.
I enjoy going to Faeries, Sprites, and Lights each year and this year I'm looking forward to bringing some friends and children along with me, including my 4 year old niecelet, who kisses flower buds to encourage them to open. I hope to make this event a yearly tradition for her and for anyone else who comes along.

This was my first year taking my grandaughter to Faeries, Spries, & Lights. She had a blast. It was so hard for me to pick a picture to submit because I took so many good ones of her. In this one she was amazed at how many bubbles there were. We stayed until the very end and plan on doing the same this year. Thanks Minnetrista for putting on a wonderful event.

[So cute! We love the bubble garden, too, Vicki!

Last year I took my 2 year old to
Faeries, Sprites, and Lights for the first time. She loved it so much the first night we had to come back the second night! She loved running down the arch way where her favorite fairy, Chloe was coloring with sidewalk chalk. She also thought the band was fun and dancing in the fairy circle with the other little girls. After this event we fell in love with Tinkerbell, and bird houses. We had to stop and check out all bird houses the rest of the summer/ fall in order to look for faeries. Our neighbor who makes bird houses built her one for our flower garden that she got to paint any colors she wanted to help attract faeries. :) This year she is excited for the event and has picked out a fairy costume to be made and the colors she wanted it - so she's really looking forward to wearing this and her 'wings'! She's also looking forward to taking her cousin this year and seeing the bubble garden. :) This is such a fun even for little girls...and their moms ( I've been looking forward to taking her all summer too! ) :)

Khloe loves smelling the flowers. Her favorite part of Faeries, Sprites & Lights was the singing and dancing with the music.
