Featuring: Author/Illustrator, Tracy Kane

11am - 4pm

Last year's event - photos, etc..

Come to the "Fourth Anual Nature's Open House Tour" and see 100+ custom built fairy & gnome dwellings set along a ½ mile stroll through wooded trails during fall foliage season. Also meet and greet award winning authors, Tracy Kane and Kelly Sanders, who will be reading and signing their award-winning books. Visit our permanent "Gnome and Fairy Village" for families and friends inspired to build their own houses. This tour was inspired by "The Fairy Houses Series" and the amazing tour of "Fairy Houses in Portsmouth, NH."

Read a letter from Mark Dale, Education Coordinator at Winding Trails. He introduces "Winding Trails" and explains why Tracy Kane's "Fairy Houses Series" is the inspiration for this upcoming event that will involve the creative participation of several schools and other community organizations. more

Wisdom is often nearer when we stoop, than when we soar”    Wordsworth

Our goal is to create a multi-generational family and community event celebrating nature awareness and literacy. We hope to inspire children and adults to experience the joy of reading and to interact with nature through building unique habitats.
