The series follows Blueberry, a curious puppet, as she guides young Arkansans through engaging and insightful activities at Camp Onomatopoeia. Blueberry and friends explore the stories, animals, and laughs found in the Natural State – including visits to the Mosaic Templar’s Cultural Center, Mid America Science Museum, Central Arkansas Library System, and other exciting Arkansas destinations.
AMFA created, voiced, and manipulated the puppets, designed and built the sets, and fabricated props to create television magic with Arkansas PBS on Blueberry’s Clubhouse.
