A NOTE FROM SYLVIA With the balmy winter we have enjoyed this year, will March bring an early spring to Minnesota? Or will March live up to its reputation as the snowiest month of the year? Time will tell, but one thing is certain: This month brings a new line-up of pledge programming to TPT 2, including a marathon of fan-favorite All Creatures Great & Small on Sunday, March 10. The support of members like you – as well as the new ones who will join your ranks during our spring pledge drive – help to ensure that public media remains a free service to everyone in the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. March also marks our celebration of Women’s History Month, when we honor the contributions of women trailblazers who have shaped our past and present, as well as the ones who will influence the future. Originally produced by TPT for American Masters , we will broadcast Laura Ingalls Wilder: From Prairie to Page on Tuesday, March 12 at 8 p.m. Airing under our local Minnesota Experience history series, the film sheds light on the enduring legacy of one of Minnesota’s most famous writers. On Sunday, March 17 at 7 p.m., we premiere season 13 of Call the Midwife , which is sure to light up your weekend evenings. You can find more shows to celebrate Women’s History Month at tpt.org/womenshistory . Also premiering this month is a new Minnesota Experience film about the life and legacy of Ojibwe hockey legend Henry Boucha, a onetime NHL star and Olympian. Directed by award-winning TPT filmmaker Leya Hale, the documentary is a chronicle of a true Minnesota hero. You will not want to miss the official premiere of The Electric Indian on Tuesday, March 26 at 8 p.m. Every day at TPT, we are humbled by your support for our arts, culture, history, and public affairs programming. We are grateful for your membership, and we hope you enjoy a fulfilling month of new and favorite shows. From PBS kids to curious grown-ups, TPT offers an invaluable resource for multi-generational education and community connection.
