Black Sheep Puppet Festival

I mentioned this last month, but this festival is worth another post.  This is the 10th Anniversary of the Black Sheep Puppet Festival – which is not the longest running yearly puppet festival in the country (who said Pittsburgh was lacking creativity and innovation).  They have over 25 events scheduled during the month of October – some of them free events.

More info and a full schedule is available at BlackSheepPuppet.com

Some other blogs who are talking about the Puppet Festival this year (and years past)…
