Plan NOW to send your 6-12 year old child to Eulenspiegel's Puppet Day Camp! When: Monday, July 21through Friday, July 25, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Where: Owl Glass Puppetry Center, 319 N. Calhoun, West Liberty What: Each participant will build several puppets of different styles and learn how to manipulate them. The group will work on staging, rehearse, and present a show at the end of the week. Who: Camp leaders Peggy Fitzgerald and Duffy DeFrance make a great team; Peggy’s calm, nurturing manner is balanced nicely by Duffy’s laugh-a-minute zany personality. Both have years of experience working with children in the arts. .
How Much: The cost for the week-long event is $120.00 + $25.00 material fee. Why: FUN!! Email for registration materials! SUMMER PARADE PROJECT Since opening in West Liberty, Owl Glass Puppetry Center has made
a tradition of building giant puppets for the annual fair parade.
Held on a Sunday afternoon in mid-July (usually the hottest day of
the year!), the parade heralds the opening of the Muscatine County
Fair and is followed by a community-wide picnic in the park. Everyone
in town watches this classic Midwestern parade; everyone, that is,
except for the many that participate by entering floats, horses,
tractors, and....puppets! |

Glass holds open studio hours
for anyone who wants to get involved in building puppets for the
event. Participants can work on the giant puppets that form the centerpiece
of the parade entry, build smaller puppets of their own to carry
in the parade, or help make props, signs, or scenes. Each year 100+
people of all ages have helped, and Owl Glass has won ribbons and
trophies every year!
