There’s a puppet party at CPAC and YOU’RE invited! So, break out your best silly voices, unleash the creative think tank holding all those juicy and outlandish stories, and come along and play with the Tropical Punch Puppeteers! At the Tropical Punch Puppet Party, pint-sized puppeteers will create their very own puppets. Their unique creations can then be brought to life to star in the limelight of their very own puppet show ON THE CPAC STAGE!

Guided by the whimsical design of well-known artist, Hayley Gillespie, and an injection of infectious laughter by Amber Grossmann, Tropical Punch’s Puppet Party is sure to be an unforgettable experience for budding creatives. So, come along and join in the fun - we can't wait to see you there!

Warning: Silliness to be expected.
