Puppet Parade at Kaleidoscope for Kids

— Artist Eryn Lake could be seen out on the lawn next to the Durant Center teaching three giant puppets how to walk on Sept. 29. As a student, Lake attended the Free Columbia Art Course in Hudson, N.Y. and created a series of puppets from the short story “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving. The puppet parade was one of the many children’s activities offered by the Kaleidoscope for Kids festival.
