Each year WTCI invites its members and guests to celebrate Family Day at the station. This free event is open to the public—visitors have the opportunity to meet some of their favorite PBS Kids characters, enjoy family-friendly activities and tour our broadcast center. At each Family Day WTCI collects gently used books and provides new books to visiting children; the used books collected are donated to a local school’s library. Other Family Day activities include: face-painting, a read-aloud, art projects, a puppet show, an animal up-close, a science experiment, a play area and “on TV” fun with the green screen.
