Color Our Twirly Whirly World
Saturday, July 12th 3pm
Warren Public Library

Join puppeteer Sarah Frechette of Puppetkabob for a performance of The Snowflake Man, inspired by Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley. The Snowflake Man swings audiences into the historic 1920s through creative storytelling, intricately designed Czech-style marionettes, and a striking pop-up book of water color scenery. The magic continues with a hands-on workshop after the show where we will celebrate the summer weather by creating twirling whirling windsocks filled with color and character.

Community Art: Color My World
