For the past three years Secret House Winery has played host to Faerieworlds .  This year’s line up looks like another great show.

 

Come be enchanted by the people, vendors, musicians and honored guests.  This year will see the return of hosts Brian, Wendi Froud and son Toby.  If you have ever seen the movie The Empire Strikes Back you will know Wendy’s work immediately.

Designed Yoda she did, yeeeesss!  

 

 

Brian and Wendy have designed characters for  The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth while working with Jim Henson  and have a following of admirers for their Faerie artwork and books.  Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book is a personal favorite.  As a child, Toby was in the movie, Labyrinth with David Bowie.  It is a cult classic and is one of my girls favorite flicks.

 My daughters and I enjoy people watching and this is a great venue.  Many Fairy godmotherpeople choose to leave the real world behind and escape to a fantasy world of fairies, goblins and trolls.  The costumes are amazing.   Many vendors sell costumes, faerie wings,  and other handmade treasures you will never see in any store.  Truly, you can come to the festival a mere human and leave looking like a fantasy creature.

 

Honored guests include artists Amy Brown and Jessica Galbraith.  Other featured artists and authors are Jody Bergsma, J. Corsentino,  Jan Delyth, Maxine Gadd,  and Diana S. Zimmerman.

 

 

Main stageOne of the best things about the festival is the music.  There are three stages and world class performers.  This year’s Festival performers come from Germany, Spain, and many parts of the U.S. and will feature Trillian Green, Woodland with the World of Froud Good Faeries Lightshow, Gaia Consort, Qntal and the World of Froud Bad Faeries Lightshow and many more. 

 

 

Food and Drink are plenty and a trip to the festival would not be complete without trying a cool cup of Goblin Grog.

Hey Leslie,

Great post about our area. You always have some of the nicest pictures too. Keep up the great work.

Now, I guess I am going to have to post something about your backyard. LOL

Catherine- It is a lot of fun.  We have wanted to stay for the evening concerts but haven't done so yet because we have a long drive home.  I think we will plan to stay in Eugene sometime and get the whole picture...
