Living close to a major city does have advantages. Having discovered that Kiddo likes puppets (he is STILL talking about Pinocchio's Marionette Theater in Orlando), we took advantage of the free, public "Mini Street Fair" held by The National Puppetry Festival "Puppet Rampage 2007" hosted by Concordia Univeristy.
Kiddo's favorites? Silly Bunny (thanks to the folks from Arizona, I think!), and the "Guitar Cowboy" which was a marionette. Kutey liked Silly Bunny, but she preferred the ladies walking around on stilts. I didn't get a good picture of them, unfortunately (I was low on battery power), but they were wonderful! My favorite? Watching 3 people orchestrate the movements of the blond woman above, and 5 people synchronize their movements to operate the giant below. And Silly Bunny, of course!
We had a BLAST! It only ran for about 3 hours, but in that time we saw so many different puppets, Kiddo was enthralled. The weather was absolutely perfect, everyone we encountered was exceptionally nice, and Kiddo has more puppet shows to talk about (and for some reason, there is always a crocodile/alligator lurking).
