Fairyland Tea Party in the Children's Realm

[LilyValley]

The although the 2011 Season has come to a close, I would like to thank those responsible for an enchanting and fairly new event - the Fairyland Tea in the Children's Realm.  MN Renfest has some unique Fae/Fantasy Characters who have begun hosting a FREE Fairyland Tea in the Children's Realm.  2010 was the first year, and in 2011 it was on the printed Fest schedule at 4:00.  The Tea is held on a little stage down inside the Children's Realm and there is plenty of seating for family and friends.  The kids sit all around their favorite Fantasy characters including Jewel the Water Faerie, Trinket Oakfeather the Fairy, Ivy the Faun, Bitto the Gnome, Tia the Dryad, Fetch (who is a delightful Puppy Dog character) and Pansy the Unicorn.  It's very informal and they all enjoy lemonade and animal crackers while visiting with the Fae and asking any questions they might have.  Discussions might include Birthdays, favorite toys, what they've seen at RenFest etc. They also sing songs together and learn how to sing and say words in sign language.  The Fairyland Tea is a great photo op, and a nice place to relax and enjoy the Fantasy.....
