Sacramento artist Andy Graham, who is also Fairytale Town's resident artist, will be painting classic Native American images on the park's new tipi. Children are invited to watch the new tipi and the painting process during normal park hours of 9AM to 4PM on April 21 and 22. Graham will be using modern paints and techniques as he gives the 10 foot tall tipi a Plains Indian motif.
The Native American Village inside Fairytale Town is one of the most popular spots upon entering. This area includes a water wise native garden and totem pole inspired by Pacific Northwest Native Americans. Children visiting Fairytale Town's Native American Village have the opportunity to see and step inside a real tipi and appreciate Native American culture first hand.
The tipi painting and installation is the last phase of the Native American Village restoration project. This project was made possible in part by a generous contribution fom Ken Stieger and family. A long time supporter, Mr. Stieger served on Fairytale Town's board of directors for many years.
