Thanks John for the info. Actually, from the looks of Puppeteria's site, they are a children's/family performing group and venue. And though they might hire out or make puppets for special commissions, I personally wouldn't count them as an official puppet seller. I would actually list them as a puppet company, as their main business would be in performing, not selling puppets. - So I'm going to list them on my site as such, and will be the first puppet company I blog about (outside of my own of course!).
