Heidi Carpenter (In Jest Puppets ) has been awarded the Carol Daniel Memorial Scholarship to support her attendance at the 2017 National Puppetry Festival of the Puppeteers of America.  Congratulations to Heidi, and remember, you too could receive a scholarship in a future year.  You just have to be a member of the guild to be able to apply.
