Saturday, Sept. 21 at 10 a.m.—KILLINGTON— The 6th annual Vermont Fairy Tale Festival is scheduled for Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Sherburne Library in Killington. Held annually on the third Saturday in September, the Vermont Fairy Tale Festival was put together to showcase Vermont public libraries and all they do for communities. Each library that participates will sponsor a booth about a specific fairy tale. In that booth, they can tell the story, do puppet shows, music, and/or have a craft for families to make and take home.
There will also be vendors selling fairy tale type wares. New this year are food vendors!
The Vikings are also back again this year with another encampment, training and activities. (While this is also a family friendly event, please note that the live steel sword fighting is real and may not be suitable for smaller children.)
