Special guest Tuffy Tiger will be performing songs from his new CD, such as “Mommy & Me,” “Milky Way Galaxy Dance,” and “Washy Wash!”There will also be a host of Star Wars characters on hand. And if kids want to get in on the fun there will be stations for puppet making and shirt decorating. And the first 200 kids get a free puppetry arts goodie bag.
