My name is Davis Kirby and I am helping Jeff Cornett and Lee Bryan, the Co-Directors of the 2009 National Puppetry Festival, with some publicity.  I wanted to see if we could get some information in your next regional newsletter  and put a link on your regional website.  Right now, we just want to do a brief introduction of the Festival, and later I will be sending you a little article once a month about the progress of the festival and the accompanying events.

I don’t know if you have a website, but I also wanted to send you a jpg you can post on your regional website and hyperlink to our own website.  The address of our website is www.nationalpuppetryfestival.org and the official launch date is September 1, 2008.   Please feel free to use the moving JPG or the static JPG to link (attached).

Here is our brief news splash:

For Immediate Release:
