KMOS-TV, UCM's public broadcasting station, will host its 7th annual KMOS-TV Kids Day from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 16, at the Moberly Area Community College Activity Center.
Free Family Event Promotes Literacy
Kids Day is a free, family-oriented, literacy-based event open to the public. The event has grown each year, reaching families throughout the 35-county KMOS-TV viewing area. It is anticipated that 800 to 1,000 people will participate in this year’s event.
Many Organizations and Individuals Will Participate
KMOS-TV Kids Day provides a free forum for Moberly and area communities to reach families with information relevant to children. Many organizations, agencies and churches will participate, giving parents and grandparents the opportunity to spend meaningful time with their children, creating lasting memories.
Meet Your Favorite PBS Friends
Families are encouraged to bring their cameras for photos with PBS Kids friends, Curious George, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Jay Jay the Jetplane and special guest, Miss Lori.
“Kids Day exemplifies what we are about -- kids, families and the enjoyment of life-long learning,” said Don Peterson, UCM director of Broadcasting Services.
