Family Day at WTCI November 9^th from Noon to 3 p.m. - Meet PBS Kids Characters and See WTCI's Broadcast Studio

If you are looking for something fun and free to do in November, look no further. WTCI, your community’s PBS station, is holding Family Day on Sunday, November 9, from noon to 3 p.m. at WTCI’s broadcast studio, located at 7540 Bonnyshire Drive. The event offers something for everyone: special guests from PBS Kids, storytelling, hands-on activities, a digital TV information booth and station tours for those interested in a behind-the-scenes look at WTCI’s studio. WTCI is also holding a book drive during the event to support a local elementary school library. Children who donate a used book can pick out a new book from our Ready to Learn library—a great way to teach children the spirit of giving as we enter the holiday season.

Curious George, Arthur, Word Girl, Martha Speaks, and the Super Readers from Super WHY! will greet kids, and a photographer will be on hand to capture these special moments. Read 20, a Hamilton County organization promoting literacy skills for early childhood, will provide reading activities throughout the day in WTCI’s Ready to Learn Center, which serves as the centerpiece for WTCI’s educational outreach services. Kids will have a chance to see what it is like to be on TV in a special camera station set up in our studio, and several other interactive activities will be set up throughout the studio. WTCI’s technical staff will also be on hand to provide tips and information for the digital TV transition coming up in February 2009.

Additional details about Family Day activities are posted on our Family Day web page - we'll be updating the page as we add new partners and events! We hope to see you November 9^th!
