Storywalk® and fairy village

Month of July
Chase Brook Trail, Mad River Path, Fayston
​
Revisit this favorite feature of last year's summer learning program! Read as you walk the enchanted Chase Brook section of the Mad River Path, right across from Fayston Elementary School. We'll be featuring the book ​The Mole Sisters and the Fairy Ring by Roslyn Schwartz. If you feel so inspired when you've reached the end, add a creation to the fairy village. Keep your eyes peeled; you just might catch sight of a fairy or gnome sneaking around the forest!

Special thanks to the Mad River Path Association and the Fayston Conservation Commission
