VENDOR CONTRACT AND INFO
STORY
In 1947 a fire consumed the original home of artist Rose O'Neill and her family. The sad remains of Bonniebrook House sat undisturbed for over 40 years. The faeries who made their homes in the woods and streams surrounding the tangled clearing where the house once proudly stood moved deeper and deeper into the forest.
We know they are around us - we see glimmers of them from time to time and there have been sightings...curious faeries wanting to investigate the goings on at Bonniebrook. Anyone who has ever visited us here can feel the magic.
We have come up with a plan to draw our Bonniebrook faeries back into the places where they once did dwell. If there was a village built especially for them, we believe that they will once again make themselves at home along the paths and streams around Rose O'Neill's beloved home.
RULES
We invite individuals and groups to participate in this ambitious building project by creating a faerie house that can be inhabited by the faeries at Bonniebrook. In order for the houses to be nature friendly, here are the rules for construction:
Whenever possible, natural materials are preferred.
Any materials used should be able to withstand the elements.
The faerie doorway should be the size of a business card.
Found objects are fine to use in the construction.
The most important thing is to have fun!!!
Judging will be done by the faeries in attendance at the gathering.
Entries should be built in advance of the Faerie Gathering and submitted in person to Bonniebrook on orbefore September 21, 2012.
All entrants will be given credit in print and on the web for their creations.
All of the houses built for this competition will become dwellings for the faeries at Bonniebrook and therefore you must be willing to leave them behind for that purpose.
Bonniebrook retains all image rights for future publication.
