Subject: [Puptcrit] Found on the web...A plea for puppet support


This note found its way into my in box.  Maybe if we all reply the 
puppet hour will be saved!  Kinda like clapping for Tinkerbell...

Save the puppets!

I just got word that after this Friday (Dec 21st), 
<http://www.pennypuppets.com/Kenton_Firehouse_Puppet_Ser.html> 
Penny's Puppets will no longer be allowed to perform at the 
<http://www.historickenton.com/firehouse.html>Kenton Firehouse -- 
maybe a plea from the community would help! Penny Walters' puppet 
shows are just about the only entertainment for little ones in our 
neighborhood and her Friday morning shows are well attended by 
Kentonites and folks from around town. Too well attended for some it 
seems. There has been a complaint from above (the second floor of the 
Firehouse, that is) about the 1.5 hours of laughing, singing children 
every other Friday --it is disruptive to someone who works for the 
North Portland Neighborhood Services office. Sorry, if I think 
Penny's Puppet productions are a great neighborhood service 
themselves.

If you'd like to voice support for Penny's Puppets, please email and 
call Ronna Seavey at 
<http://www.portlandonline.com/northportland/index.cfm?c=dffeg>North 
Portland Neighborhood Services 503-823-0215 or 
<mailto:rseavey-AT-ci.portland.or.us>rseavey-AT-ci.portland.or.us
She wants you to contact her so she has a record of interest in 
Puppets with Penny!

Thanks to Kenton resident Teresa for the alert!
