I just wanted to throw this festival out there. I didn't see it posted anywhere...
The Rumpelstiltskin Society PuppetFest Midwest
July 8th trough 13th 2008
North Central Missouri College in Trenton, Missouri

I'm thinking about attending this one for a few reasons. Nick Barone is teaching a workshop that I'm very interesting in. If anyone has taken his workshop and/or was planning on attending I would love to hear more about your thoughts. Secondly, as we all know gas prices are out of this world right now and this festival seems to be the closest to my location, so that will help keep my travel expenses down a bit. Let me know if you've been to this festival before, I'm very curious.   
Thanx -

Unfortunately, it will only get worse, not an easy thing for us puppeteers!
