They were lined up before the event even started.
Approximately 300 children and adults flocked to Peach Park on Saturday for the Vedder River Fairy Village Festival. They painted miniature houses, rocks, ceramic figurines and more and then brought them over to the village located about 150 metres east of Peach Park.
The event was put on to help rebuild a little, whimsical fairy village located in the woods near the river which was destroyed back in June.
