Sweater Day to honor Mr. Rogers (and Pittsburgh)
You have seven days left to put on your favorite sweater. To be really Mr. Rogers like, although it's not necessary, choose a cardigan. March 20 is being deemed "Sweater Day" to honor Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood fame. The show was filmed in Pittsburgh and March 20th would have been Mr. Rogers 80th birthday. Sweater Day is part of a six day (March 15-20th), "Won't You Be My Neighbor Days" a promotional event for Pittsburgh's 250th birthday year celebration. Here is the link to the events page.
People around the world can participate in Sweater Day and are invited to send photos or a video of themselves wearing a sweater to neighbordays@fci.org
Here's a YouTube video of Mr. McFeeley from the show explaining what Sweater Day is. As a person who loved Mr. Rogers as a child, this is one event I'm all about. So spread some good cheer and get out that sweater.
Don't like red sweaters? How about Japanese fashion?
