Finally, another post. This time it is good news. We have the key. Plans are to start construction next week for the 2 walls that make the theater. The big empty building needs to be filled with fun and creativity that will welcome kids, families, classes, and ,yes, even adults.

It really looks different now.

In the meantime, we are going to start the big move and I do mean BIG. On Monday we are going to move the largest pieces from storage so we don't have to pay another months rent. We are hoping to find someone with a BIG truck so we don't have to rent one. We checked prices today. Wow, have they gone up since last year. Can you believe one of them wanted 99c a mile in addition to the rental price. Another was 79c a mile. Double last years price.

What we have to move that is so big are (4) 4x8 platforms 3 ft. high, the big 'oak' counter for the lobby, (5) or so glass display cases, lots of chairs, and . . . Then we have file cabinets, desks, copy machines, book shelves, lighting, sound stuff, tables, the marionette stage, hand puppet stage, gift shop displays and store stock, museum displays and puppets and that is just a small amount.

Does anyone want to be a volunteer coordinator? We need to keep track of all of the wonderful work that is done by volunteers. To help with building or moving call Bill at 561-312-3232 and Jan for other information. 561-967-3231.
