The Toonies are a troupe of fun loving puppets created by Tricia Haynes to convey various character building messages to kids. Their Enviro-Show was sponsored by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency at the state fair. The Toonies delivered enviromental facts and shared various ways a family can reduce, reuse and recycle. We received rave reviews and are anxious to bring this the Enviro-Show to elementary schools this fall.
Here are just a few of the reviews we've received."Great show and a LEGITIMATE EXPENSE to promote recycling AND general environmental messages!" - Carolyn Smith - Anoka County Waste Mgmnt
"THE TOONIES have a magical way of ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATING. Delightful and effective!" - Ann Brovold - Dakota County Environmental Mgmnt
