When Faeries Appear, Can Spring Be Far Behind?

Your Faerie Godmother, in the Faerie Realms

Nyala Farms alpacas strut their stuff in Binghamton

Spring is coming and faeries are stirring after a long winter's nap.  Faerie friends, Nyala Farms Alpacas, showed their goods and fancies at 'Cabin Fever 2013' crafts show on Friday & Saturday, March 2nd & 3rd, at the University Downtown Center, 67 Washington St, Binghamton NY. In attendance were Krii, our favorite imp, going incognito in her disguise as Marianne Bauer and Christmas elf Marie Lutins. Both are shown below in their summer plumage. Next faerie sighting, Lunacon, Rye Town Hilton, Rye NY, on March 15th to 17th. This Faerie Godmother will see you there!

Krii on Grand Tour

The New York Faerie Fest is sending our favorite imp, Krii, on grand tour this spring as an ambassador of hijinks to the mundane lands of New York State. Her Blue Eminence started the season, parading on St. Patrick's Day in Binghamton, NY last month, escorted by Treebeard Billy (see left).

Her latest appearance on April 13th was celebrated with pranks, public displays of fun in the streets of downtown Woodstock, NY and the distribution of our collectible 'playing card' flyers. Karen Ellis (in left photo above), Krii's Guardian Angel, was there and reported "A great day at Woodstock, Krii's tour drew the attention and curiosity from people of all ages. Many family portraits taken with new friends made, and MANY cards distributed. Special thanks to for a guest appearance by stilt walker Jeff Fahringer, 'Joffrey of the Cloven Hooves'." (right photo above)

Last stop on the junket will be NYC on Saturday, May 19, all afternoon on the Great Lawn in Central Park, between the Museum of Natural History & the Metropolitan Museum of Art (also between E & W 80th Streets).  Then, she will be heading down to Greenwich Village for some night life and more grown-up fun. See you there!

2011 NY Fareie Festival Crowded with New Faces

This weekend was the 2011 Faerie Festival in Ouaquaga, NY. Even though there were a few sprinkles, our crowd swelled to record proportions this year, topping 3500. Many new guests were the result of our spring fundraising campaign through the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. In addition to the first timers, many returnees were in attendance as well.

After a damp start to the weekend on Friday, June 24, the weather improved, until sunny skies were in evidence all day on Sunday. Our musical artists, faerie performers and craft vendors, who are all seasoned campaigners, kept spirits at the fair from flagging during the one or two sun showers that quickly passed through our enchanted glen.

Here we are having fun at the New York Faerie Festival in Ouaquaga, NY last June. Our Queen sports the latest fashion, spun from silver moonbeams and spider silk.

Below, revelers strut their stuff on the village green, where faeries of all ages go to see and be seen. Shown here is Adam Flint, his pink  winged daughter, Mariel and her admiring swains.
