The Adams County Community Foundation (ACCF) is pleased to announce that the Decatur Arts Commission was recently awarded a grant from the ACCF for the third presentation of the Flight of the Fairies, a magical event for children and their family members to explore the Hidden Enchanted Woods in Hannah Nuttman Park.
While exploring the Hannah Nuttman trails, each participant will search for fairies and their houses, create magical crafts, and meet with storytellers that will share in fairy history, hobbies, and their homes. Children will be able to use their creativity in doing nature-themed crafts in the hopes of earning the fairies’ affection.
The Flight of the Fairies will be in the woods near the REV Park (Hanna Nuttman), along Washington Street, west of the REV ball fields (1420 N. Washington Street) on Saturday, June 24, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tickets are $8.00 per person with children aged two or younger free. Tickets are available at the Riverside Center, at www.daparks.com, or at the entrance on June 24.
What about rain?
Though the fairies are working to ensure great weather, if necessary, a rain date will be announced. Follow this entertaining and fanciful event on Facebook at Flight of the Fairies. Participants are encouraged to come dressed as mythical creatures.
Stephanie Clemons, grant writer for the event, has expressed appreciation to the ACCF for this support. She reminded everyone that this will provide a playful and magical family time for kids of all ages. Karen Fawcett, ACCF grants committee member, noted that the ACCF is pleased to support the Decatur Arts Commission and their effort to provide this family-friendly event in Adams County.
This ACCF grant was made possible through unrestricted funds sponsored by ‘Anonymous’, First Merchants, and the Kiwanis Club of Decatur Community Enrichment Funds.

The Kiwanis of Decatur Community Enrichment Fund was established in 2006. Now dissolved, the Kiwanis Club of Decatur and Indiana are best known for their efforts to provide philanthropic support for youth programs.
