About The Event
We're bringing the Caterpillar back to the Arts in the Dark Parade and looking for some volunteers to help walk it with us!
The Caterpillar is a 40-foot long puppet made from inflated weather balloons and held aloft with poles. The artists of Envision Unlimited, the puppeteers of Opera-Matic, and the rest of us at CCRx are collaborating to bring it to life. Join us!
The Parade will take place downtown on Saturday October 24 from 5-8pm. Volunteers should plan to be there starting at 3pm.
Before then, we practice walking it on Thursday mornings from 1030 - 12noon at Envision West Town, 1801 N Spaulding.
Volunteers should plan to practice most of those days/times.
Interested? Let us know!
