[Phillip]

Muppets Studios let us know about a very special charity auction they are holding for... The Ultimate Muppet Whatnot Workshop Experience from FAO Schwarz!

As you know, you can customize your very own Muppet Whatnot here. But between now and December 10, you have a chance to bid on the following:

The most sensational, inspirational, celebrational adventure of a lifetime! One lucky winner and a guest will travel to Muppet Whatnot headquarters at FAO Schwarz Fifth Avenue to be greeted by Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear before designing and building a custom Muppet Whatnot puppet to take home. Next up: Private puppeteering lessons with a Muppet pro to prepare the specially designed Muppet Whatnot for an exciting performance. A video keepsake, with Kermit and Fozzie, will document the entire experience!

Exclusive offer details:
This experiential package includes airfare and 2-night/ 3-day hotel accommodations for one winner and a guest in New York City for ‘THE WORKS’: An Exclusive Ultimate Muppet Whatnot Workshop Experience.

Winner will receive exclusive access to the Muppet Whatnot Workshop at FAO Schwarz Fifth Avenue. In this private session, they will design and build their very own Muppet Whatnot.
Winner will receive a private puppeteering lesson from a real Muppet performer to learn classic puppeteering techniques, such as how to perform traditional hand and rod puppets, as well as “right hand” puppets.

Once the winner has mastered the art of puppeteering, their new Muppet Whatnot will debut in a 3-minute video, co-starring Kermit the Frog. This video will then be posted on Muppets.com.
The entire experience will be filmed to create a personal keepsake video of this priceless opportunity. This video will be sent to the winner’s home.

Proceeds benefit the Toys for Tots foundation.

 

[Davina]

really wish i had a few extra thousand dollars laying around.. but then, i probablly couldn't use it anyway.. though.. maybe.. i didn't see in there anywhere if the "airfare" would cover coming from Alaska... (most prizes that include travel don't..)

 

[Nick22]

It is getting a bit expensive... I kind of wish this was a contest, rather than an auction. Whoever has the deepest pockets will win...

Yes, but it's for a very worthy charity, so I would say that it's worth it.
