Jeanne Wright has been involved with puppetry for years, helping volunteers make puppets for the annual Summer Solstice Pageant hosted by The Good Harbor Hill Players and North House Folk School.
When she learned about the Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupe project that was to be part of the 250th anniversary of the US celebrations in NYC, she applied and was invited to be one of the puppeteers that would help bring 40 life-sized buffalo to life.
Jeanne shared what that was like with North Shore Morning host CJ Heithoff in this interview.
