Families are invited to join KET at Woodland Pavilion in Louisville’s Broad Run Park for the free “Be My Neighbor Day,” which builds on values and themes presented in the PBS KIDS series Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.

The event will be held Sunday, Oct. 1 from 1 to 4 pm. Registration is required at KET.org/bemyneighborday.

This unique event offers families the chance to enjoy nature walks, crafts, storytelling sessions and meet-and-greets with caring neighbors including Louisville-area first responders and other community helpers, such as librarians, postal workers and more. Daniel Tiger will also make a special appearance. Additionally, children can receive a free tree seedling at the event, which they can take back to their own neighborhoods to plant.

Inspired by the themes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, “Be My Neighbor Day” teaches children the importance of being a caring neighbor.

The Louisville “Be My Neighbor Day” is supported by PNC Grow Up Great^® and organized by KET in partnership with the Fred Rogers Company, producers of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and YouthBuild, a non-profit that provides education, counseling and job skills to unemployed young adults.

KET is Kentucky’s largest classroom, where learning comes to life for more than one million people each week via television, online and mobile. Learn more about Kentucky’s preeminent public media organization at KET.org, on Twitter @KET and at facebook.com/KET.
