Eco Beeps!

Here is the 3 minute video from “Happy Birthday, Happy Earth Day” that we filmed at Whole Foods Petaluma on Sat. Enjoy & leave us comments! Come see us LIVE at the Grand Opening of the new Whole Foods store in Novato, CA on Earth Day (Thursday April 22). We will be on the mezzanine with TWO shows at 4:00 & 4:45. Happy Earth Day!

If you attended the “Happy Birthday, Happy Earth Day” play at Whole Foods in Petaluma on Sat Apr 17, and got a package of Organic Adzuki bean seeds in the drawing, congratulations! The quicker you get your seeds in the ground, the sooner you will have your very own organic beans.

Thank you for coming to the show and Happy Earth Day!

The Eco Beeps! puppets will be performing “Happy Birthday, Happy Earth Day” LIVE at TWO Whole Foods locations in April in honor of Earth Day. These are both FREE events.

The 1st show will be at the Whole Foods Petaluma, CA stage with shows at 12:00 and 12:45 on Sat April 17th. Whole Foods will be pre-celebrating Earth Day with product vendors and other events including a special reading of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and child craft activities.

The second ECO BEEPS! show will be at the Grand Opening of the Whole Foods store in Novato on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22. Show times are 4:00 and 4:45 on the mezzanine.

An hour before we get started in Novato there will be Earth Day Tales, read by Novato’s very own Children’s Librarian at 3pm.

So, mark the dates on your children’s April activity calendar and come out for some great FREE Earth Day entertainment and lots of yummy treats & tasty samples in the stores.

For those of you too far away to make the live shows, we will be filming the Petaluma show and will post that on YouTube on Earth Day.

Eco Beeps! First Public Screening a Success!

Please enjoy these pics of our first screening of Eco Beeps held at the Early Work Toy Station in Petaluma, CA.

I would like to thank everyone that made this event possible, from the actual staging of the event to all of the networking that occurred leading up to it. Thank you to our puppeteers and voice artists Cheryl Wagner, Jamie Waterman, Anastasia Schuster, and Cat Smith, and Linda and Rachel at Early Work, and the fellow that helped me load in the equipment. I forgot his name but he will soon be embarking on his own puppetry career. And a special thank you to all that took time out of their busy day to come over and see what Eco Beeps! is all about.
