Another Glorious Success!

The second annual Tour of Fairy Houses in Portsmouth, NH again brought thousands of people to the South End of Portsmouth for what one lady called, "The best thing that has happened to Portsmouth in 15 years!"

Tour highlights included:

• Fairy Houses built in various “theme” garden settings at historic Strawbery Banke, John Langdon House, Prescott Park plus 6 private gardens
• Meeting Tracy Kane, author/illustrator of "The Fairy Houses Series" of books and video
• Building of a “Fairy Houses Village” at Peirce Island
• A display of Fairy Houses built by local professional gardeners, landscapers, florists and nurseries
• All ticket proceeds go to local non-profit organizations and Little Harbour School

The Fairy Houses Tour is the brainchild of Portsmouth grandmother, Judy Nerbonne, who bought Tracy Kane’s “Fairy Houses Series” books for her grandchildren and was inspired to build fairy houses with them. Judy soon discovered that Tracy lived nearby. Judy, Tracy, and good friend Susan Benedict combined talents to organize the highly successful 2005 Fairy Houses Tour that clearly highlighted the special values conveyed to children when building fairy houses.The 2006 Tour again brought fun, imagination and a pinch of Fairy magic to Portsmouth, New Hampshire!
