Make a furry monster—or ask about a puppet petting zoo

Current location note / listed area: Toledo, Ohio · operator base
Workshop, character appearance and show configurations are separate inquiries, not an automatic bundle. This family/Bible-based operator mainly presents child-oriented programs; discuss content, ages, materials, venue and any adult-celebration adaptation. Legacy footers and unfinished site headings remain despite newer local activity; confirm current repertoire and dates. No live animals or wedding package is implied.
