Gnome Home Workshop & Playdate - May 7, 2011

Join the fun this Saturday May 7 from 9 AM to noon, and let your imaginations run wild as you build miniature homes for tiny mythical creatures at Mary Hayes Barber Holmes Park.  The construction disturbed a lot of their habitat so they could use some help settling back into their new surroundings.  You’ll use natural materials found on site, plus some starter materials brought in for the workshop to create fine homes fit for the gnomes.  Fairies and elves need homes too, and feel free to dress up in fairy wings but also in clothes grubby enough for a nature inspired workshop.  

NO FEES (troll tolls) – this is a free event sponsored by the Pittsboro Parks & Recreation Department.  You can take your creations home, for your own mythical creatures, but we encourage folks to leave a good portion in the park for others to enjoy.  Feel free to bring natural materials from home to use or share.  

For directions to Mary Hayes Barber Holmes Park click the "interactive map tab" toward the top of the blog page under the main banner.

Local businesses like Pittsboro Toys, Laura Barringer DDS and Little Dippers Italian Ice will be on hand to join the fun, provide treats and host contests.  A fun time should be had by all, so come on out.
