Annual Puppet Festival Saturday October 29, 2011 10.15am – 1.15pm at the Iowa City Public Library
There’s so much going on this Halloween weekend it’s hard to choose what to write about! 
As it happens I’m a sucker when it comes to puppet shows so this one was a no brainer for me. Some of my favorite memories involve watching my two boys enraptured faces as they watched puppet shows in Germany. They’re pretty popular over there and we went to A LOT of them.
