Costume-Con 30 Exhibits
Cactus Puppet Exhibition
Costume-Con has a long history of helping out causes. From food and clothing, to toys, we are a kindly bunch. So for CC30 it seemed a fine idea to have fun, help children and sew something.
Welcome to Costume-Con 30’s soft-sculpture Cactus Drive and Exhibition, where cactus puppets are a specialty. (It started as a cactus puppet zone, but expanded.) The objective is to provide toys for Arizona children’s hospitals. Think soft and non-toxic. Hand puppets can help to bring shy children into bloom. And puppets can help communicate things children might be unwilling to say.
So maybe you’ve always wanted to express yourself in a Jim Henson kind of way. Here’s your chance. Anyone who makes a donated toy (cactus, desert, coyote, roadrunner, whatever) can exhibit their own toy or puppet (thus avoiding the soft & non-toxic constraints) for fun, adoration, media preservation (photo & video) and maybe a little something to take home. And, consider getting your kids involved in making puppets, too!
