The National Puppetry Festival is an all-volunteer endeavor by an all-volunteer organization. We rely upon volunteers to make the festival operate smoothly.
Volunteers receive:
- The satisfaction of knowing they have helped create a successful festival
- Gifts not available to anyone else
- Chances to win free registration for the 2011 National Puppetry Festival
- Our gratitude.
