The Fairy Door you see here is home to Tree Fairies Cora and Cornelius Caladium Culpepper.
​
Here you find the home of Cornelius Caladium Culpepper and his wife, Cora. These whimsical tree fairies have adapted to nature in a fairly unique way. While Cora, a female fairy, is a fairly good flyer, Cornelius is much more adapted to the canopy – hopping from branch to branch -- similar to a squirrel, collecting tree sap and sturdy leaves along the way. He uses these implements to create traps for small daddy-long-leg spiders and mosquitos, which he then seasons and cooks for a tasty, protein-filled dinner. You’d be surprised what a little chili powder and cilantro will do to add flavor to your everyday insect!​

Cora, in turn, spends her time caring for and feeding her large brood of pet bats. Everyone knows that a bats favorite food is a mosquito! Ha! I bet you thought Cornelius and Cora were eating the spiders and mosquitos themselves! Nope! Basically, this family of fairies are making Kendallville a better place by reducing the number of pesky bugs around the park. They feed the bats, reduce the number of bugs, and make the park a better place for everyone in town!​

When Cora and Cornelius aren’t slaying insects, they typically spend their time making wishes while blowing the tufts of dandelions in the park.
