Honor Mister Rogers on March 20 -- Sweater Day
WKAR joins it colleagues at Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in encouraging people everywhere to wear a sweater on Thursday, March 20 – the day that would have been the late Fred Rogers’ 80th birthday.
The children's public television pioneer died of cancer five years ago. A sweater was his trademark garb on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
David Newell, who played speedy deliveryman Mr. McFeely on the show, appears in a YouTube video that touts the event.
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood is seen weekdays at 11:30 a.m. on WKAR-TV.
