Dear Friends of Puppetry!

This gathering of puppeteers is meant to link to the East Coast puppetry conferences which have been led by Janene Ping and others. It has long been a dream of Janene’s to have West Coast gatherings alternating with East Coast gatherings. Janene has been working with us in imagining and planning the conference and will join us as a presenter and participant in the conference. I was fortunate to be able to attend last year’s conference in Hawthorne Valley. It was extremely inspiring and delightful! I am happy to be a part of the planning and hosting of our West Coast conference!

Please contact me with questions or if you are interested in presenting a puppet show of your own at the conference!

With warm greetings,

​Marjorie Rehbach

Hello Marlene!

Thank you for your interest! We are in the process of compiling a list of hotels, rooms in private homes,etc. Of course there is also Airbnb to check into. Olympia is lovely in the summer and there are plenty of restaurants and food trucks. We have two food coops where you can also purchase fresh and healthy foods. We will serve snacks and we will arrange catered lunches if there is enough interest.
Did you find your way to the registration forms on the ripples blog?
Let me know if you have other questions. More details about the lunches will come out after our early bird deadline of April 22.
Warm greetings,
Marjorie
