A great opportunity for family fun has arrived again this year with a new mask and giant puppet workshop started September 22 and it is FREE!  The workshop is being held at Splinter Bros. and Sisters Warehouse every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:00-9:00 PM.  The address is 901 N. 13^th Ave.

This is a great opportunity for the whole family and individuals to work under professional instruction designing, constructing, and decorating a mask or big head puppet to wear or carry in the 20^th All Souls Procession Sunday, November 8, 2009.

These workshops will also help people build their own altar, float or bicycle decoration for the procession.  These workshops run from September 22 until November 12^th. (Clean up after the parade)
