Thanks, Juli -----Original Message----- From: Janel Hoekenga [mailto:jhoekenga@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2012 9:35 AM To: Holly Champlin Subject: puppet show Holly, I am not sure if you are the correct person to contact but if not, please forward to the correct recipient. My children and I have been attending the puppet show in Eagan for 5 summers now. We have always enjoyed it. But this year has been just amazing. The shows have been very entertaining, including great humor to keep the older kids (and adults) entertained as well as the little ones. The interaction with the children in between shows has been perfect, keeping them engaged. My kids never want to miss it. They especially enjoyed the trip around the world where they took the children to different countries around the park. They also loved learning to be a super hero, and telling a wish in the microphone. The crafts, dancing, and puppet mail are also all great. Myself, and my children, have been very impressed this year, especially with the great variety. Thank you for doing a great job. Janel Hoekenga
