DAY TRIP TO BAIRD EXHIBIT
Take a short trip to Mason City, Iowa to see the MacNider Museum's permanent display of Baird Marionettes. Bil Baird called Mason City one of his home towns, and arranged for the Museum to have more than 300 of his marionettes, including the original puppets used in The Sound of Music.
Travel will be by chartered bus (about 2 1/2 hours each way). Cost: $35. Includes transportation and a lunch in Mason City.
This event is open to Festival registrants, on a first come/ first served basis.
Planning tip: We expect the bus to be back to Concordia University by 6 PM. If you wish to take this day trip, you will be able to extend your stay in the dorm through Saturday night, July 30.
