Here is an article that I have been sent about a labor dispute that is taking place between Just Born, the company that manufactures PEEPs, Mike and Ikes, Red Hot Tamales and Goldenberg Peanut Chews. We are highly disturbed by this. If the union does not prevail on the pension issues, we will not be able to continue purchasing the thousands of PEEPs we use every year for this show, nor will we continue with this show. We stand with the workers who deserve, now and in the future, to benefit from their labor and loyalty to the company.
We love PEEPs and even more than that, we love Bob Born, the inventor of PEEPs. This has been an honorable company in the past. We ask that they honor the union and its demands.

Thanks to all who made the PEEPs show 2018 so successful.
Thanks to our wonderful judges who bravely (some of them) publicly stuck their necks out to vote for their five favorite PEEPs. Picured are Mayor Pam Triolo, Editor Mark Easton and Judy Easton.
Not pictured but helpful in the decisive decision was Julio Poletti of the Palm Beach Post. There were three other judges who wish to remain anonymous.

Every Year Starts with PEEP Seeger: This is especially poignant this year on the 50th Anniversary of the Assassination of Martin Luther King. Pete introduced Dr. King to "We Shall Overcome" at the Highlander School. It became the anthem of the movement

A Ode to the Environment
And Then There Were None- Destroying the last of the wildlife species in the world-

Comic Relief- and lightening
If I hear one more PEEP out of you I am going to turn this car around and take you home!!!
Resist- With all those women who changed the world because they resisted oppression
The Ship of State is Sinking- Those on the side on life rafts are the deplorable brought to Washington by this administration. They will all go down!
Why do PEEPs like to eat snails? Because they hate fast food!
A PEEP is like a teabag. You don't know how strong she is until she's in hot water.
Just like the Lilliputians captured Gulliver, the PEEPs capture an monster and will rend him harmless and save the world.
