Characters

Now, this is one of my favorite parts of Kids Fest. You can meet some of your favorite PBS characters up close and personal! Daniel Tiger and Katerina Kittycat, provided by the Rotary Club of Evansville, will be there to spread joy and laughter. But that's not all – Kids Fest will also host special meet-and-greet sessions with beloved characters like Molly of Denali, Zeke from Work it Out Wombats!, and the iconic Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Television Shows Set in Indiana

From comedies to dramas to reality television, to arguably one of the most popular science-fiction series ever created, Indiana has had its fair share of Hollywood productions use a location in the state to serve as a "home base," if you will, for its story. Some of these you've likely never heard of, and some you may be a massive fan of.
