July 7 - July 12, 2008
The International Festival of Christian Puppetry and Ventriloquism, or I-Fest, is a unique weeklong annual gathering, which celebrates and promotes the use of puppets in ministry. Over 100 workshops are offered in three areas of interest: puppetry, ventriloquism, and puppet ministry leadership. Some workshops offer hands-on experience in areas such as puppet building or prop making, and ventriloquists have the option of enrolling in the Ventriloquists in Training certification program for serious performers.
In addition to the workshops, there are excellent performances, competitions, and a hall of vendors offering ministry-enhancing products. Come share a week with fellow ministry performers from around the world, or come Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon only for an exciting "SuperFest." You won't want to miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity for learning, encouragement, inspiration, spiritual growth, and motivation! We hope to see you there!
