I am in Lusk Wyoming. I had a show at the library last night. What fun! The room is upstairs and rather small. Yesterday we returned to winter. It was snowing and the wind was howling. I was a little worried about the roads but they were only a little dicey at the beginning and end of the trip. The …
Booking for Summer Reading Program
I am amazed how fast the time goes. It is getting closer to summer than I can imagine. Although I will be glad to see the snow go. But I am in the middle of booking for the Summer Reading Program in the libraries. The year’s theme is “Make a Splash @ the Library”. And I so happen to have …
Shows in Webster
The shows in Webster were wonderful fun. One show in the Elementary School and one in the Home and Sports show for the Chamber. Good audiences. I have been having a little trouble with tendinitis. By the end of the first show, my left hand was hard to move. I knew it would heal but I was worried that my …

Getting ready for Fall puppet shows
I am beginning to put together my new show for this fall. Or at least I am working on one of them. This show is a tobacco prevention show for k-5. I am trying to make it fun and educational. I think Skavang the Dragon–large puppet with an attitude–will be the one who must quit smoking.
Heading south
It is interesting to go from the chilly rainy Montana early June to the unusually hot and unusually humid southwester. I am in New Mexico. Eastern New Mexico. I came down as far as Raton on Tuesday (6/23/09). I finished the last three CD’s of Harry Potter’s last book. J K Rowlings is an amazing writer. What an epic! Then …
Augusta
I did a show in Augusta Wednesday. It is a very small town in north central Montana. It was a town that made me feel right at home. It reminded me of several of the towns I grew up in. The library was small but the librarian was hopeful for a good turnout. The pool had opened that day so …
Northern Montana
I am sitting in the wind capital of Montana-Cut Bank Montana. They have the largest wind farm in MT. It seems appropriate! The wind is constant and very strong. I did shows here and in Valier yesterday. There is a fierce pride in this still wild country. People are proud of the wildlife. As I left my show in Valier …
