puppet with a painted canvas, waterproofing, a hose, and a bellows back in 1855. That “hoax” was indeed the first instance of community puppetry in Perry, NY, but by no means is it the last! In collaboration with the Arts Council for Wyoming County, the Warsaw Public Library, the Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce and the Wyoming County Health Department, SOTL and NYSPF, along with 50 community puppet-makers are joining forces to once again create a community puppet of our very own Silver Lake Sea Serpent! We designed and built the head and tail of the puppet. Those 50 community members are making individual sections of the body. Together, masked, and spaced 6 feet apart with our individual puppet pieces, not only are we going to be safe and socially distant, but we will have a sea serpent puppet that is the length of a football field, parading through the Silver Lake Institute. This sea serpent is no hoax!
Read about it in The Daily News HERE.
Grab a mask, a chair, and plant yourself six feet from our route and watch the first Sea Serpent puppet brought to life in 165 years on Silver Lake!
Stay safe, and hope to see you along the Parade route (see below) this Saturday!
