FLIGHT: A Crane's Story




A master puppeteer company, Ibex Puppetry, with a close family connection to Kermit the frog visited Minden East Elementary School Tuesday. The daughter of Muppets founder Jim Hensen started Ibex and travels the nation keeping the love of puppetry alive. "Who wants to learn to make a puppet today?" Ibex Director of Education and Community Outreach Megan Boye asked students. They weren't just any puppets but, cranes -- whooping cranes. March 25, 2014 | by Lauren Scharf, Producer/Reporter
