Hope you had a good tripp to California. Have returned to nice weather here - humidity's finally gone!

OK... one more beg! :) In two weeks, we are going to start planning & moving on our interior remod at Tripp - main floor. Before that, we have a final event coming up - a Pie Baking Contest on Saturday Sept. 10. Wondering if you wouldn't mind a two week extension on the puppets, so people coming in for the pie contest could see them. They continue to be of much interest & prompt fun & interesting conversations. We've run out of cards for Ken & plan to make more this week. After your puppets are gone, quite sure we're going to have Ken make us the three I mentioned to you: Count Haraszthy, JS Tripp & Blackhawk Sparrow. That way, we can continue to feature some cool local historical persons & subtly promote Ken's work. 

Note attachment. This is the gentleman (Barry Climies) from far "up in north WI." who Ken makes puppets for.... mentioned him to you earlier in summer. I called Barry a couple of weeks ago & he & his wife drove down to PdS on a Saturday. They stayed an hour plus, then went on to Madison to visit Ken. This is the guy who has a lot of US Presidents in his collection. You were gone the day he came, otherwise would've called you. 

Lastly, check out www.saukprairehistory.org. Go to About SPAHS & then History Highlight. Then "Click here" as directed.... will see the videos that Diane has created to date, including Cuca Records.
