Puppet Nest is Open

Sandy-Spieler-speaks-at-Puppet-Nest-Opening

Puppet Nest celebrated an Open House on November 11, 2023

Puppet Nest is a Gift House, made possible with the donations, volunteer help, and moral support of many folks.

Thank You!

There are now two spaces—a new climate protected garage, and a patched up old garage. Puppets are in both spaces and already many puppets have been loaned out for various uses.
Here are photos taken by visitors at the Open House.
