Back by popular demand … The Manchester Fairy Garden Contest

submitted by Laura Wohlgemuth

How to enter:

1. Participants create a Fairy Garden that is displayed in their front yard to contribute toward The Manchester Fairy Garden Tour for the Manchester community to all enjoy! If you don’t live in town, you can display a potted Fairy Garden at the Manchester District Library and enter the contest. The Manchester District Library will start accepting potted Fairy Gardens on Thursday, June 1.

2. Once you’ve created your Fairy Garden (whether it’s in your yard or at the Manchester District Library), submit your name and address to lwohlgemuth@manchesterlibrary.info

We will use these addresses to create a map for the community to go on The Manchester Fairy Garden Tour to view all of the fairy gardens both in the Manchester Community and at the Manchester District Library. A panel of judges will view all of the Fairy Gardens and will vote on first-, second-, and third-place winners in both adult and children’s categories.

Adult Winners:

• 1st Place will receive a $25 Worth Repeating gift certificate!
• 2nd Place will receive a $15 Worth Repeating gift certificate!
• 3rd Place will receive a $10 Worth Repeating gift certificate!

Child Winners:

• 1st Place will receive a ceramic Fairy Door kit, a beautiful Fairy figurine, and a $10 Clever Creations gift certificate!
• 2nd Place will receive a beautiful Fairy figurine and a $10 Clever Creations gift certificate!
• 3rd Place will receive a $10 Clever Creations gift certificate!

Deadline for contest submissions is Monday, June 12, by noon. Winners will be announced Thursday, June 15, at The Manchester Fairy Festival! Maps will be available at the Manchester Farmers Market, the Manchester District Library, and Worth Repeating.

And also … The Manchester Fairy Festival hosted by Worth Repeating will take place at the Manchester Farmers Market at Chi-Bro Park on Thursday, June 15, 3–7PM.
