PBS Kids in the Park

My wife and I took our kids to Indianapolis today for PBS Kids in the Park -- an opportunity for kids to meet many of their favorite characters from PBS Kids programming. My kids were most excited to meet the gang from Super Why!, WordGirl, and Curious George.

The headliner for this year's event was Shock from the new Electric Company program. As one of my daughters and I waited in line to meet WordGirl, we enjoyed Shock's stage performance.


But the real highlight of the day -- honestly, the reason we decided to go to this event in the first place -- was a more familiar face.

David Newell was in attendance -- in character as Mr, McFeely, of course -- signing autographs and passing out coloring pages (as well as copies of the FRC pamplet Bedtime Struggles).


With a line waiting, our visit was short. I was given an extra coloring sheet with light-hearted instructions to share online so others could color as well.

Enjoy!

Did David Newell recognize you as the Neighborhood Archive founder?

I had actually never met Mr. Newell before. When I introduced myself, he was certainly familiar with the Neighborhood Archive effort.
