Puppets Up!

Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival in Almonte

We spent a wonderful day at the Puppets Up! festival in Almonte. We went out early in the morning with the boys and caught two puppet shows. The boys were absolutely enthralled with the first show we saw (a pirate-themed story with lots of humour) and a bit less with the other shows we saw.

Holly's best friend from high school, Jenn, lives in Almonte, and her stepmother, Noreen Young, is the founder and artistic director of the festival. Noreen is an acclaimed puppeteer and puppet maker and an Order of Canada recipient for achievements in children's television.

Here are a few pictures from our day in Almonte:
