  The preschoolers cable network SPROUT is coming to the Westfield Countryside mall in Clearwater on Sept. 17 looking for pint-sized weather forecasters for “The Sunny Side Up Show,” a popular preschool program.

Officials from SPROUT also will be bringing Barney the big purple dinosaur and “Sunny Side Up Show” hosts Chica the Chicken and Kelly.

The event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. is for kids ages 2 to 5 and it’s called “Barney’s™  Sprouterrific Playdate.”

“The Sunny Side Up Show” is a fun morning show where children and their families can interact live with the hosts, share birthdays, greetings, ideas, crafts and weather reports from all across the country.

At the Countryside event children will have their picture taken with Barney, Chica and Kelly and also get an opportunity to step into Sprout’s Sunshine Barn and give a fun weather report with the help of The Sunny Side Up Show cast and crew. 

All families will receive a backstage pass to SproutPlease.com where they can download their pictures and special weather reporter video.  One lucky winner will be chosen from one of the eight cities on the Barney’s Sprouterrific Playdate tour to appear in a segment on Sprout as a guest weather reporter.  Go to SproutPlease.com for rules and regulations.

The Westfield Countryside mall is on 2700 U.S. 19 North. The event will be in the Sears Court, Lower Level.
