Today is ” World Puppetry Day ”!

Since 2003, March 21st has been celebrated as World Puppetry Day. The day was originally selected by UNIMA (UNION INTERNATIONALE DE LA MARIONNETTE). In the United States, The National Day of Puppetry (historically celebrated by the Puppeteers of America) is now merged with World Puppetry day to create a worldwide, unifying puppetry celebration.

Now you may ask ‘What does puppetry have to do with geocaching?’ Well to be honest, nothing. But maybe today would be that perfect time to grab a sock from the drawer, add a couple buttons for eyes, a red marker for lips, and head out into the woods to hunt a few geocaches. After all, we all can appreciate have ‘an extra set of eyes’ to help search! And who knows, maybe your sock puppet will spot the cache first. Just don’t be angry if they don’t speak up (the mouth is fake, duh).

Quote of the day – “Sincerity - if you can fake that, you've got it made. “ – George Burns
