Celebrating thirty six years since a group of puppeteers from The Puppeteers of America Great Lakes Region thought it would be fun for puppeteers and their families to get together for a weekend of puppets, puppet shows, and workshops. Today about 150 puppet-loving folks drop their worries and cares at the door of the beautiful Potawatomi Inn, which is located on the shore of Lake George, in Pokagon State Park, Angola, Indiana, for this fun and educational conference we call Potlatch. Potlatch has grown from a gathering of mostly professional puppeteers into a place where a newcomer is not only welcomed but is immersed into the fascinating world of puppetry. Join us and see for yourself.
