Photos from Puppets Up! in Almonte today

We went to Puppets Up! in Almonte today.  It’s a great place to take your kids and a great place to take photos.

Shows you should check out:

 * 
Intergalactic Creature Band by Big Nazo, Rhode Island. A live band of space aliens.  Bizarre but very entertaining performance art.

 * 
The Dragon King by the Tanglewood Marionettes, Massachusetts.  Incredible craft and storytelling.

 * 
Peter and the Wolf by Brend Ogrodnik, Iceland.  The classic story showcases the international language of puppetry.

 * 
Animal Adventure by Rock the Arts. This group is from Carp, Ontario.  A high-energy show that's great for young kids.
