1985 Xmas Carnival "Percy the Pig" (Rough Cuts)

U-Matic tape containing multiple takes of the Percy the Pig hand puppet sequence from the advertisement for Detroit's 24th Annual Christmas Carnival, at Cobo Hall, December 6th through the 18th. 1985. The puppeteer begins with a short version of the script, then moves onto a longer and more detailed one. The set features a straw hut with tinsel around the window, beside three small Christmas trees, all against a blue background.

The video is on a 3M UCA-20 U-Matic S tape with a handwritten 3M label on its top. The tape is housed within a black plastic latching clamshell case with a handwritten 3M label on the cover.
