SUMMARY:WQED Cardigan Day
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Friday\, November 13 is both World Kindness Day and King Friday the XIII’s birthday? Join WQED to celebrate kindness and the inspiring work of Fred Rogers during their 3rd Annual Cardigan Day. \nAbout\nAs a day of festivity\, Cardigan Day brings the community together to celebrate kindness.
