(Schedule subject to change.  Please check back often for updates.)

Museum Family Matinee Fever River Puppeteers, The Tale of Bunny Cotton-Tail Saturday, February 4, 2012 1:00 p.m. Bunny Cotton-Tail is a hand and rod puppet show based on a story by Laura Rountree Smith, a Platteville children's author and schoolteacher who wrote Beatrix Potter-like stories. Bunny's adventures with his friend, Susan Rabbit, take him to a cabbage patch and the inside of a farmer's gunny sack. He listens to a wise old owl, saves Susan from a little girl's doll bed, and outsmarts the dreaded fox. These family friendly programs are free and sponsored by Alliant Energy Foundation.

Wahlert, Director of Dubuque Museum of Art; Dr. Christopher Rossi, Executive Director of Humanities Iowa; and photographer David Plowden. An exhibition catalog signing with David Plowden will follow the program. This exhibition and special evening are also dedicated to the memory of Edward Ulve, long time DuMA supporter and Board Member. David Plowden’s Iowa is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Edward Ulve Memorial Fund at the Dubuque Museum of Art and the Ulve Family.
