Sparky's Puppets presents: The Kingdom of Riddles
In this show, a king asks a knight to capture a unicorn for his queen. In his quest, the knight needs help from the audience in solving riddles posed by those he meets along the way---a jester, a witch and a dragon. So put on your thing caps-some of these riddles are hundreds of years old!
The program also includes a version of “The Princess and the Pea” with a book-loving princess and a mischievous mouse.

Marty Podskoch & Grace Preli: The Connecticut 169 Club.
This Guide to Exploring Connecticut navigates readers from out behind the blue screen, off the interstate and onto Connecticut back roads to meet and merge with fascinating neighbors and uncover cool curiosities tucked into the 169 towns and cities in the Nutmeg State.
Come find out more about the book and the club!
The new travel book encourages travelers to visit all of the towns and villages of our beautiful and unique state. As he traveled throughout the state he marveled at the great diversity of villages, cities, rivers, lakes, mountains, and seashores. He realized that most of the residents of the state had not traveled as widely as he had and he wanted them to explore his beautiful state. He created a book to be a guide and a passport. Podskoch got someone from each town to write a short description highlighting their town’s location, history, and interesting places to visit. Podskoch did this because local residents knew more about their town than he. The book has a space for travelers to journal about their experiences and a place to get the book stamped or signed by a resident or business. Travelers will get to know the locals and perhaps learn about a good place to eat or an interesting local attraction. In this way they get to know a lot about Connecticut and its residents.
There is no membership fee, just a desire to experience all of Connecticut. Adults and children of all ages can be members. What a great adventure for families, grandparents, and their grandchildren, or go by oneself. Most members will travel by car while others might use a bike, motorcycle, or maybe a canoe! People who visit all 169 towns will receive the “Leatherman Award” patch at a luncheon or dinner held at a different town each year. The award is named after the vagabond who lived in caves and traveled a route regularly (approx. 34 days) from the Connecticut River to the Hudson River during the late 1800s.
