2nd Annual FaeryFest 2012 
Perth, ON
By Cheryl Sinfield, Faerie Ce Ce

The Faeries are returning to Perth, ON. Saturday, June 9th, 2012 for the 2nd Annual FaeryFest! This Festival will take place at the Perth Civitan Hall, on Highway 43, just outside of Perth, from 10am to 5pm. Come dress in your finest Faery garb or mystical creature! Faery Wings are most WELCOME! In the Faery tradition of healing the planet and helping the animals, there will be free admission to the Festival but a donation to L.A.W.S. would be greatly appreciated. This year L.A.W.S. will be there with their own booth to accept donations and give info on the animal shelter. Last year's festival attracted approx. 200 - 250 people, with only 13 vendors, artists, and authors, etc. This year's festival has a bigger venue of 35 vendors, artists, and authors, etc. to date. The participants of FaeryFest will be inside the hall, as well as outside on the grounds surrounding the hall.
The organizer, Cheryl Sinfield was given this idea to have a FaeryFest last year from a close friend. She wanted to include anything and everybody that believed in the Faery Faith/Energy. The Faeries are here to remind us not to take life so seriously and have some fun. This is what the organizer wants to accomplish with this event! There will be something for everyone, for the very young to the young at heart!
Local artists, authors, vendors, oracle readers and healing practitioners will be there to temp you with their wares, knowledge and skill. As well as a FaeryLand Craft Zone for the little "Faeries" too. Local Perth resturant, Grandma's Lunch Box will be there to satisfy any mystical creature's stomach with treats, snacks, drinks and lunch.
There are many artists coming and returning to FaeryFest this year, here are a few of them. Sculptor, Doug MacDonald from Rue Royale has a wide array of cast cement sculptures. Another returning sculptress is Cheryl Sinfield of Faerie Art by Faerie Ce Ce with her natural one-of-a-kind Faery houses and doors, to attract the Faeries. Fibre artist, Cindy Keary will return too with her shawls and other kniting and weaving, which she makes from the wool from her own sheep. Her son is offering handmade candle holders with symbols for every modality. Christine Joyce will be showing and selling her originals and prints of Faery paintings and drawings. She will be selling masks, candles and cards too. Nature-inspired patio figurines M.E.L.PS. (Mary-Ellen's-Little-People) by artist Mary-Ellen Dick will be at FaeryFest too. Another sculptor/artist, John Ladd will be offering his wood carvings, hand built pottery, sheet metal art and paintings and sketches. A new artist/vendor to FaeryFest is Maryse Ferguson. She makes beautiful stain glass art and tie dye clothing. Pauline Bodkin and Tracey Foster will be sharing a booth. They will be showing and selling their Faery Shields, pa
