Welcome to the 2015 Corn Hill Arts Festival! We hope families join us in our Community area located off Adams Street, where you will find many free activities that inspire and delight kids of all ages!
Fairy Houses Tour: (free)
Plan on exploring the 3rd Annual Fairy Houses Tour, where you will see approximately 75 creatively designed and built houses built from all natural materials. Whimsical structures built with all natural materials by individuals, families, and teams are displayed here for your enjoyment.
After you tour the area, please vote for your favorite house in our “People’s Choice Award Contest” and meet the author of The “Fairy Houses Series” of books, Tracy Kane. Tracy is responsible for re-igniting the Fairy House movement in the United States. Her goal is to get children and adults alike out into nature, exploring and experiencing its wonders.
Color Corn Hill Contest (free)
While you’re at the Community area, ESL will be hosting a coloring and chalk area for children to relax and take some time to create their own masterpiece. ESL’s volunteer Kindness Crew will be on hand to help out.
Sand Art:
The simple pleasures in life begin with sand and a little imagination. The kids love creating a souvenir by hand to take home and remember the day.
