HUNTERSVILLE – Latta Plantation will host its Fairy House Festival Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the nature preserve at 5226 Sample Road.

A fairy house is an outdoor natural habitat structure for fairies, insects and small animals.

The free event includes storytelling, face painting, crafts and other children’s activities.

Prizes will be given for best fairy and gnome costumes and for construction of the best fairy house. Children will learn how to build their own fairy house on one of the preserve’s nature trails.
