WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW/DO/BRING? Following are notes/messages from the Guilds about their specific areas of “duty”: EXHIBIT (PGNO): Bring puppets, stages, pictures, whatever! We’ll help you display them to share with Potlatch puppet pals. ICE BREAKER (Columbus): The CPG is requesting that each guild present a 5 minute skit that involves puppets that are made from brooms, and/or mops. Brooms and mops can be enhanced by the use of hats, scarves, costumes, etc. CAN BRING IDEAS AND MATERIALS AND CREATE ON THE SPOT-- no preparation necessary (it's an icebreaker, so the process is the point!) POTPOURRI (Detroit): Potpourri is your chance to try out a new puppet idea or an old chestnut. Be short and sweet. Keep it under 5 minutes. We will have a signup sheet waiting for you when you arrive. TRADING POST (Chicago): Set up will begin after the workshops on Sat a.m. until the Trading Post opens (around 1:30 Sat.).
