Tryon Palace Family Days

New Bern Puppets gave 10 performances of “George Washington Comes to Town” at Family Days sponsored by Tryon Palace at the North Carolina History Center in New Bern, North Carolina.

Our colorful banner and little gnomes acted as a decorative and cheerful barrier to keep over eager spectators from crowding directly in front of the stages. We used these decorative children’s coat hangers to hang the marionettes during the performances. It was a marvelous and fun-filled day entertaining children and adults alike.
