NATURE, FAMILY AND MAGIC AT FAIRY AND WIZARD FESTIVAL

Tyler Arboretum holds annual family-friendly event

Dust off your wands, iron out your capes and do a flight check with those wings because the annual Fairy and Wizard Festival is coming to Tyler Arboretum on Sunday, June 30, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.!

Join us as we celebrate all that is magical in nature. Learn about owls, flowers, toads and mushrooms—all found at Tyler Arboretum and all used throughout magical folklore and fairy tales. Your family can create a miniature fairy house or gnome home with natural materials to shelter Tyler’s magical inhabitants. Kids can enjoy crafting fairy wands, halos, wizard hats and magical potpourri to take home. Entertainment includes two magic shows featuring Happy the Clown (complete with her fairy wings) and a Fairy and Wizard Parade led by members of the Penncrest High School Drum Line.

“Our annual Fairy and Wizard Festival is always a great time for families to come to Tyler and get acquainted with and excited about the magical mysteries of the natural world,” said Betsey Ney, Director of Public Programs. “The kids really enjoy the crafts, the magic shows and parade are things the whole family really gets excited about, and everyone loves to see the costumes people come in.”

This event is proudly presented by the Tooth Fairy and in partnership with Dental Health Care Associates, the first green dental office on the East Coast.

“We’re proud to partner with Dental Health Care Associates for this event and support their endeavors to maintain a green office,” said Tyler Arboretum Executive Director Rick Colbert. “The staff from their Optimal Orthodontics practice and the Tooth Fairy will be on site providing free dental evaluations and answering parents’ questions regarding dental health.”

The Fairy and Wizard Festival is free with admission and no pre-registration is required. This event will take place rain or shine. For more information, please visit www.tylerarboretum.org or call (610) 566-9134.

Becoming a Former Smoker is quite an undertaking.  As a matter of fact, it is by far the most important decision you will make in your entire life. Not only will it save your throat, your lungs, your heart, and your arteries, most importantly, it will save your life. It will also save you thousands of dollars each and every year.  If you are serious about becoming a Former Smoker, and you are willing to invest a weekend and attend a few follow-up support sessions, this is the program that you have been looking for.

Since we know the first 2 days are by far the most difficult, this program is designed to tackle those tough times when the cravings are strongest, like after breakfast and lunch.  And, we deal with cravings in real time, when they are actually happening.  You will be guided through the tough times with hypnosis, and you will learn self-hypnosis and progressive relaxation to help you resist temptation.
