Nevada City

Our second show of the day was at the Madelyn Helling County Library in Nevada City. It was an afternoon show--inside thankfully! The space was HUGE (sorry, no pics, I was eating lunch after the set up--wolfing down the yummy sandwich Lucinda gave us).



I did, however, manage to snap some pics of the great sidewalk chalk decor outside (as we we arriving). Tim, who performed at the Madelyn Helling Library last year, said they did something similar for them as well. It was such a fun idea and made the puppet show line feel festive! The entire front was covered in drawings and designs. There were arrows pointing to the entrance of the show and the puppet show start time was everywhere! The light was in a poor place for me to snap many of the drawings. The T-Rex was my favorite but, I couldn't get a decent pic of it!

A great show in a great location!

The Secret to My Sucess!

Coffee!!



This (the procurring and drinking of coffee) is a MAJOR part of the summer tour! Especially on a three show day! The Redwood City Main library has a really cool coffee cart right outside it and since we had the time, Tim and I sat outside, enjoyed the sunshine, and sipped some coffee before heading inside to set up. You can see a little of the building behind Tim.

It's a tough job, I know!

Seeing Signs

The Redwood City Library had LOTS of great history, reflected in it's signage. Above is the plaque affixed to the building mentioning the school that stood on that spot many years ago.



Did you know that the Redwood City Library USED to be a Fire Station? Yup, it was! And when the station was moved for the new Library, the building facade was kept intact with all it previous FD markings. Cool!

More Redwood City

Our 3rd show of the day took place at the Main Branch in Redwood City.



This branch was just gorgeous and I had a wonderful time snapping pics of the building before our show. It didn't hurt that we arrived VERY early!
