Great Lakes Puppeteers Potlatch - MDFPA

The year of Marc’s passing we were invited to attend this festival in Angola, Indiana by his cohorts, contemporaries… partners in crime. The visit in 2018 was an emotional roller coaster as we all attended and witnessed a beautiful circus - themed tribute in Marc’s honor.

A very beautiful gathering, surprise and especially warm reception.

We were honored!

We attended again in 2019 and then…Covid!

For 2 years we did not meet again until now!

This gathering is a tremendous enclave of serious minded professionals, amateurs, enthusiasts and admirers of the craft. A special place where outside cares are left in the car or at the curb. You can feel the excitement in the air. See the smiles, get the hugs and handshakes from folks who are so very happy to see you there.
