Subject: [Puptcrit] Great Small Works' Rising Tide Parade


Dear Puptfolks of the Greater New York City arena,

  Here's a chance to participate in an extraordinary puppet 
parade/pageant/ performance art event at the tip of the Big Apple. We 
need help in making various accoutrements  over the next week and a 
half.
Please lend us a hand in making epic scale puppetry safe for city 
streets again.
