Puppet Show at Eldridge Park

Thursday July 7th from 6pm to 7pm

Heidi Hos Food Truck & Cold Rush Italian Ice will also be on site serving up dinner and helping you beat the heat!

The Kids on the Block program is powerful in helping break down barriers, enabling children to be candid with their questions and concerns. The puppets also help children feel positive about themselves, accept individual differences and learn valuable personal skills. The Kids on the Block is a troupe of educational puppets that dress and act like real children. Each nearly life-sized puppet character has a distinct personality and life story. Like real children, some have developmental, physical, or emotional disabilities.

Thanks to the generous support from The Fingerlakes DDSO, The Arc of Chemung-Schuyler is able to offer FREE Kids on the Block performances. The Kids on the Block’s lively and upbeat scripts create an environment of open communication for the audience. Each performance includes scheduled Question and Answer periods during which audiences interact directly with the puppet characters. During this time, myths and misconceptions are replaced with facts and sensitivity.
