MOLINE, IL – With a standing-room only crowd expected for WQPT's Imagination Station, the Quad Cities Public Broadcasting Station is issuing a call for volunteers to help with the day's activities, which will take place at the Western Illinois University-Quad Cities Riverfront Campus.
Individuals interested in helping at the family-friendly event can sign up at wqpt.org/imagine. PBS characters—including Clifford, Arthur, Curious George, Word Girl, Super Why, Peg + Cat, Daniel Tiger, Cookie Monster and more—will be present, and each PBS character will have their own stations with activities, stories and career exploration tracks.
"The response last year to our reinvention of our 1994-1998 program was amazing. Last year we ran out of our free ticket vouchers in 36 hours, and we expect to do the same this year," said Bea Brasel, WQPT special projects coordinator.
More than 3,500 people are expected to attend the two sessions, one set to begin at 10 a.m. and the afternoon session set to start at noon.
For more information, contact WQPT at 309/764-2400
Imagination Station is supported, in part, by the Scott County Regional Authority and Jaycees of the Quad Cities.
WQPT is a media service of Western Illinois University.
