CMOE Presents A Twist To A Classic Christmas Tale

Giant puppets were a hit Saturday afternoon at the Children’s Museum of Evansville as the Madcap Puppets performed a kid-friendly version of the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol.”

Madcap Puppets is based out of Cincinnati that travels around performing various puppet shows. The group is known for educational programs that include performances, workshops, and residencies.

The show was made possible, with support from the Indiana Arts Commission, Vanderburgh Community Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

“We’re trying to bring in some new and innovative performances here to the museum all the time,” said Kali Anthony, Education Coordinator for CMOE. “We want to give kids an opportunity that maybe they wouldn’t get normally.

“We have had other puppet performers here before but this is the first time we’ve had Madcap here and I think we’d be happy to have them back.”

Kids were given the opportunity to interact with the performance during the show and ask questions about their favorite puppets afterward.

Memorial Falls in State Championship Shootout 47-42

Memorial Falls in State Championship Shootout 47-42

The Memorial Tigers bid for back-to-back IHSAA 3A state championships came to an end Saturday after losing a close game to West Lafayette.

The Red Devils took an early 14-0 lead, but the Tigers responded with two touchdowns to bring it within 14-12 in the first quarter.

Both teams went back and forth the rest of the game, which led to West Lafayette holding a slim 47-42 lead with under a minute to play.

Memorial drove down the field to set up one play on fourth down to potentially win the game with six seconds left.

Tigers quarterback Michael Lindauer scrambled to his left, created several seconds of extra time to throw, but the coverage was too tight on the Memorial receivers and the pass fell incomplete.

The 47-42 loss is the first for the Tigers in over 13 months.

Memorial’s season ends with a 14-1 record and a state runner-up ribbon.

Old City Hall and Police Department By Pat Sides

This view shows Third Street near its intersection with Walnut Street, looking northwest towards downtown, in the 1950s. The center building with a clock tower is City Hall, which was located across the street from the Evansville Police Department (right).

Built in 1887, City Hall sported an even taller tower before much of it was removed in the 1920s. The police station was dedicated in 1917, one of the many civic projects undertaken by Mayor Benjamin Bosse to modernize the city, as well as the police department.

The mid-century urban renewal movement wrought many architectural changes downtown; when the Civic Center opened in the late 1960s, the Third Street buildings were vacated in 1969 and razed two years later.
