The 15-year-old puppeteer from St. John's may be best known for his Rogers TV show, NL Now, but now he's making his puppets available to the rest of the world. It wasn't too long into his stint with Rogers TV that Thompson began getting messages about where to buy puppets locally. Jake Thompson is selling his own puppets at crafts fairs and at least one downtown St. John's business. He interviewed guests such as comedian Rick Mercer, St. John's Mayor Danny Breen and the CBC's own Cecil Haire. Thompson's puppets are on sale at the Bee's Knees on Water Street in St. John's, or through the NL Now Productions Facebook page.
