Trompin’ Manikins was a community based puppet group that Hillary formed after doing a workshop on pageant puppets with Processional Arts. We often marched and performed with the local band the Hubbub Club. We performed during the Rivertown Festival in Petaluma, The Fools Parade in Occidental, Northbay Hootenanny-Railroad Square Music Festival & Winterfest in Santa Rosa, Burnal Equinox in San Francisco and Honk Fest in Seattle. Some of the puppets were created by students and adults in my classes while others were made by Hillary.
