Muppets in Windham

A fun assortment of Muppets and other fun collectibles from Abby McIntyre will be on display through Sept. 2. Although Abby doesn’t recall any special beginning date for her collecting of Muppets items, she says she has always liked them. She even remembers that when she was young she believed that Kermit the Frog was real.

Now Kermit, along with other Muppets such as Miss Piggy, Fozzie the Bear and Animal, are on display in the library case.

There are also an assortment of movies, pictures and other fun collectibles. Books and movies from the library’s own collection are also on display next to the exhibit case.
