PUTNEY — All of us affiliated with Sandglass Theater deeply thank everyone who helped make the recent Puppets in Paradise benefit a huge success.
First and foremost, thank you to Gordon and Mary Hayward, who - once again - generously donated their absolutely magical gardens to host the event. Their place sets the tone and timbre for Puppets in Paradise and makes it an unfailingly special time.
Our gratitude goes to the many business sponsors of this biannual event and to the more than 80 community members and businesses who volunteered to donate, bake, and serve food; manage the parking lots; sell tickets; work the concession stand; or set up and clean up after the event.
Thank you to all the performers, puppeteers, and musicians, each of whom donated their time and talents to support Sandglass's programs and make this event such a resounding success.
And we send our profuse and heartfelt thanks to the 800 or so people of all ages who came to spend a beautiful, sunny, breezy day with us: You are our community and audience, and this work is for you!
