KENDALLVILLE â Postponed, but not canceled.
Kendallvilleâs Fairy, Gnome and Troll Festival is coming back for its second romp through the mystical, magical and fantastical.
The second annual festival â well, almost annual considering everything that happened in 2020 â will be back in downtown Kendallville on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce sent out the announcement Tuesday afternoon that the wildly popular, family friendly event will return just a little later than its normal May run date.
The fairy festival was a new invention in 2019, piggy-backing off a downtown âfairy doorâ program that was launched in Kendallville. The small, decorative doors were mounted at businesses around the city with QR codes that can be scanned to take you to a website with a little story about a fairy family living at that location.
Just the boxes, though, bees not included.
The Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce will distribute 20 hive boxes as part of this year s Art on Main program, which allows local groups or organizations the chance to decorate the annual item, which is then displayed on Main Street throughout the summer and later auctioned off to raise money for Experience the Heart of Kendallville, the city s Main Street organization.
In recent years, Art on Main has featured items including benches, wheelbarrows and rain barrels, which each get unique paint jobs before going on display. We will distribute 20 boxes to local artists to paint and/or embellish, which will then be on display downtown for the summer month, along with information on how to save the bees, Chamber Executive Director Kristen Johnson wrote in a letter to city organizations and businesses. Afterwards, the boxes will be auctioned, with proceeds used towards downtown revitalization efforts. We would also like to use this yea
KENDALLVILLE â Thereâs a lot of overlap in jobs at 122 S. Main St.
The executive director of the Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce also heads up the cityâs Main Street organization, Experience the Heart of Kendallville, and plays a role overseeing the cityâs Economic Development Advisory Council.
And thatâs not even counting the downtown Economic Improvement District, another separate, distinct organization working in downtown that the chamber also collaborates with.
Theyâre jobs that sometimes go hand-in-hand but sometimes also have conflicts between them, which is why an experienced Main Street consultant has suggested looking into splitting the jobs and creating more defined barriers from one to the next.
