Walker made the puppets for the successful Mosquito Show last summer but the puppets never made it on stage. They were used for greeting audience members outside. April Antics is one of the major fund-raisers taking place for the Cape Breton trip. Advance tickets are available at the Great Canadian Dollar Store and the Amherst Music Store. Tickets can also be purchased at the door for the 7 p.m. performance.
Admission is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.
