The calendar still says
February, but here at Fairyland we have summer on our minds. Registration for two
of our popular summer programs – birthday parties and summer sleepovers — is
now open. And our summer-camp sessions filled up within the first week.
It
seems like a good time to revisit a column I originally wrote in 2009, about
one local (and famous) author’s experiences with his daughter at a Fairyland summer
sleepover.

| Waiting for sunset: A Fairyland sleepover gets under way. |
When I wrote it, we were
celebrating: For the first time in a couple of years, Fairyland’s summer
sleepovers were completely sold out. (This year, we still have plenty of
spaces! Go to the “Events and Performances” section of our website to sign up for one of four dates in July and August.) We
wondered: Why the sudden good fortune? Maybe a mention in a book that had just
been published was the cause.
