MOLINE, IL - With a sold-out crowd expected for the March 21 WQPT event, Imagination Station, the Quad Cities Public Broadcasting Station is issuing a call for volunteers to help with the day's activities.
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, Elmo and Abby Cadabby will be present, and each PBS character will have their own station with activities, stories and a career exploration track. In addition, PBS Kids host Mr. Steve will perform two shows.
"When we planned this event, which is a reinvention of our 1994-1998 program, we really didn't know what to expect for attendance. In the first four hours, we had more than 400 tickets requested and we have since sold out. We're thrilled with the interest and expected turnout," said Bea Brasel special projects coordinator.
More than 2,000 people are expected to attend between the two sessions. For more information, contact WQPT at 309/764-2400
WQPT is a media service of Western Illinois University
