WIPB-TV has extended its deadline for stories about Wabash.
The station plans a special program called “Now Entering … Wabash,” which will air on the Muncie PBS station.
WIPB crews were to be in town to work with local residents on Saturday, Oct. 14. However, that date has now been changed until Saturday, Nov. 11, to collect the local stories.
“Now Entering…” is a video scrapbook of the people, places and history of towns as seen through the eyes of its residents.
Wabash community members are encouraged to collect video footage and still photos to showcase their unique stories.
Because WIPB officials want to make sure everyone who would like to tell a story can do so, video cameras are being provided at the Wabash Carnegie Public Library.
Crews will be at the Wabash County Historical Museum on Nov. 11 to collect the stories and footage from local residents.
Those wishing to be considered for the program should contact Michelle Kinsey, Community Engagement Coordinator, at mkinsey@bsu.edu or fill out a participation form at www.wipb.org/nowentering.
