Puppeteer Jim West is ready to educate Vineland's youth "How the Elephant Got His Trunk" at 3 p.m. Sunday.

The show is at Frank Guaracini Jr. Fine and Performing Arts Center, Cumberland County College, Sherman Avenue and College Drive, Vineland. Admission is $5.

It is recommended for ages 5 to 9, the show by this master puppeteer brings to life the Rudyard Kipling's classic story in a large-scale puppet extravaganza. Also, colorful rod puppets perform a madcap Barnyard Opera to the accompaniment of Mozart, Strauss, Rossini and other classical greats.
