Howdy! Just wanted to introduce ourselves, the founding members of Panther City Puppets. Although it started out just two of us, we’ve been so lucky to have so many folks want to get involved in either the construction or the performances. We’re always looking for more people who want to be a part of our troupe so please reach out!

Right now we have a few events covered to wrap up this beautiful fall season but hoping to expand our outreach and we’ll need all the help we can get.

Feel free to email at the link in bio, or DM us. 🫶🏻

My Adelita, my girl, my world. You are six months old now. You can grab your pacifier and place it in your mouth all on your own. You are SO close to crawling. Any day now. You don’t like apples but you do like sweet potatoes. Your laugh is the best sound in the entire world. You always wake up happy. You’re curious and social like your daddy. You’re persistent and sleepy like your mama.

You make me feel like a superhero.

Fort Worths Mayor and City Council is being put to the test of demonstrating if they love this city as much as we do. There’s unfortunately little evidence to support this, but we’ll take a unanimous vote where we can get it. No doubt they considered the gesture (passing moratorium) magnanimous, It’s a gesture mixed in placating and delaying the inevitable unless we all continue to apply pressure.
Keep showing up, making comments, organizing, and ultimately we will help shape this city into one that values people over corporations.

In the interim - join us any ol’ time won’t ya?

We’re Tired Too. We Want To Go Home.

Fort Worth City Council did a good thing on 8/11/26, taking steps for a data center moratorium, but then cut public comments from three minutes to one after folks waited almost 6 hours to speak. 🤦‍♂️

This is Wesley giving them his thoughts.
