Tour of Fairy Homes

Press release: Come join in the fairy magic at Shake Rag Alley! From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 1, stroll the magical grounds and see original fairy homes built especially for this tour. (Think small, really small!) Each home will be situated in a special spot on site for your viewing pleasure at this fundraiser for Mineral Point’s nonprofit school of arts and crafts.

Throughout the day, drop in and listen to Maureen tell the tales of the characters she creates through clay sculpting. Visitors can also make a fairy home ($20) and create a fairy wand ($3); all materials are provided. Adults (12 and above) $5; children 11 and under enter for free.
