is it too hot to wear a sweater?




"Won't You Wear a Sweater?" Day - March 20

Mr_2 Tomorrow, March 20, is "Won't You Wear a Sweater?" Day in memory of Mister Rogers (it would've been his 80th birthday). It's also part of a week long celebration for Pittsburgh, PA's 250th anniversary.

"We're asking everyone (including members of the media) everywhere (from Pittsburgh to Paris) to wear their favorite sweater on that day," said Mr. McFeely (aka David Newell) the public relations director for the non-profit Family Communications, Inc. founded by Mr. Rogers. "It doesn't have to have a zipper down the front like the one Mister Rogers wore on the program, it just has to be special to you."

If you were a Mr. Rogers' fan (like me!) then don't forget to wear your sweater tomorrow!
