As a result of restrictions on public gatherings due to the Coronavirus outbreak, our Peeps Show has gone VIRTUAL! See rules below for submitting your entry.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Toecane Peeps Show is back and bigger than ever! They are dedicating this year’s show to COTA in honor of their “Peep” Mary Ruth Webb. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Mary Ruth is a local resident and artist who was diagnosed with the single-gene disorders Polycystic Kidney Disease and Polycystic Liver Disease, and now requires a dual transplant. The Toe Cane Peeps Show organizers are working with the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to help raise funds for transplant-related expenses and raise awareness about the need for organ donors and life-giving transplants.<\/p>\n
