Fairy Door!
High Prairie Library now has a Fairy Door! What is a Fairy Door? A Fairy Door is a painted rock trading post where you can drop off and find #719 rocks. This is a great place to come if you want to find a rock but are not sure where to look. Do you have painted rocks and are not sure where to put them? Drop them off at High Prairie Library! The Fairy Door is located next to our shed near our garden.
