The annual Puppets Up! Festival just wrapped up this past weekend in our hometown of Almonte, Ontario. The three-day festival runs each year during the month of August where puppets and performers provide hours of entertainment for families and children of all ages in the town’s historic downtown.

While downtown’s Mill Street was lined with vendors, live music and puppet performances, the main attractions took place in a number of tented theatres and inside some of Almonte’s historical buildings. Complete puppet performances took place at various times throughout the weekend in these designated locations, pleasing spectators from start to finish.

We were delighted to take part in this popular festival when we were commissioned to supply a number of four-row bleachers to seat the large crowds expected for their specialized performances. These aluminum bleachers featured a welded steel framework providing the festival with a tough and long-lasting seating solution to serve them for many years to come.

In comparison with other materials used for bleacher planks like wood, our aluminum planks and construction allow for an easy-to-clean surface and a virtually maintenance-free seating product. Our four-row bleachers can seat anywhere from 32 to 56 spectators depending on the length chosen. Our four-row bleachers are available in 12’, 15’, 18’ and 21’ lengths, depending on your specific seating needs.

For years the Puppets Up! Festival has been pleasing families in Almonte and the surrounding areas. Again, we were very appreciative of the opportunity to take part in this fantastic festival and hope to see everyone back on Mill Street for Puppets Up! in 2016.
