GIANT PUPPET PARADE - St. James is excited to be partnering with the Cattywampus  Puppet Council to hold open “maker” space for Knoxville  community members to work on giant puppets for the community arts parade on Saturday, March 26 as part of the Big Ears  Festival. At specific times (March 20, noon - 2 p.m., March 21, 3 - 4 p.m., and March 22, 3 - 4 p.m.) tables will be set up in  the Parish Hall with some giant puppets to be dressed with  papier-mache. There will also be some additional stations for adults and kids to make their own small masks or other art for the parade. Dolly Parton, (the giant puppet), is currently residing at St. James having some restorative work done in anticipation of her appearance in the parade. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and some other Big Ears artists may also drop in to play some music while everyone is making art.
