This will be a small, intimate festival held at North Central Missouri College and at the Grundy County Jewett Norris Library, both located in the small town of Trenton, Missouri. Registration is limited to the number of people we can seat in the gem of a theatre we have reserved. The Hoover Theatre at the Grundy County Jewett Norris Library seats a maximum of 135 people. Coincidentally, so can the Residence Halls. Our registration is limited to 110 participants.

PuppetFest MidWest will take over most of the NCMC campus for the week of our festival. Fortunately for us, the campus is compact and convenient. All workshops, exhibits and performances are within five minutes walking distance from the dorms.



Room and Board Information
Lodging is Tuesday afternoon through Saturday night. Selby Residence Hall (opened fall 1997) provides on-campus living and dining for all 130 festival attendees. Every dorm room includes beds , a sink, a study area, movable furniture and an air conditioner that you can adjust to your own comfort level.

Meals for the festival are served Tuesday dinner through Sunday lunch. A full service cafeteria is located in the lower level of Selby Residence Hall.

Late Night at the Wild Onion Cafe
The North Central Missouri College does not allow alcohol anywhere on campus. This includes the dorms. We trust that everyone will honor this rule. So, we have rented the fabulous Wild Onion Cafe, located one short block off campus, where we will gather every night for the refreshment of your choice (beer, wine, juice, soft drinks), terrific Wild Onion Cafe food, and great conversation.


Bartenders
