The legend of the fairy doors

Fairies have always been around us. Recently they have ventured out of the forest looking for new places to live. Tecumseh has invited fairies to be part of our community. Please don’t hesitate to be a good neighbor and come visit. Feel free to leave little treats or trinkets on their door step, welcoming them to our community. Small shiny items that will fit on the doorstep are best. Please remember that only a fairy can open their doors, so please do not pull on the door handles.
