Great fun pictures. What a fantastic event. Just like the programming on WCCA TV 13 there was something for EVERYONE. Hey, where are the pictures of the last few entertainers? I want more. More WCCA TV.
If the City of Worcester doesn't push for you guys to go county wide they will be missing out on a great opportunity to promote the talent and resources of this city. That would be a dam shame.

Great party. See you at your 25th.

Excellent photos

Thanks for documenting this monumental occasion. I am so proud of everyone who helped make this a flawless event.

Looking at the pictures it is easy to notice how the crowd included nearly every facet of our community. That speaks volumes about who and what WCCA TV 13 is. WCCA TV is TRULY THE PEOPLE'S CHANNEL open to everyone and I hope everyone knows it. The music, the food, the community resource and craft tables, the dancing, the wrestlers, the fantastic crowd of well wishers, and a wonderful and thoughtful staff of event coordinators and volunteers. All of you made this a WCCA TV collaborative production to be very proud of. WCCA TV has been making history for 20 years. The event on November 18th, 2006 was another great moment in Worcester's history.

Thanks to all the volunteers, WCCA's staff, board members, event planners, entertainers, food vendors, craft and resource table attendants, Mt Carmel's staff, and guest speakers.

 

THANK YOU WORCESTER. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YOU ON WCCA TV 13.

WCCA-TV 13 20th Anniversary

What a wonderful time we had at the recent WCCA-TV 13 20th Anniversary celebration! The event was so much fun with all the diversity of music and food booths available. My husband tried the South African food and it was delicious!

Kudos to Mauro, Tracey, and the crew of WCCA-TV 13 for putting on such a professional, well-orchestrated event. It is very heartwarming to see such comradery among the different cultures that makeup our city!

I hope WCCA-TV 13 will be celebrating 40 years and beyond someday. They truly are a "For the People and By the People" community access station. Keep up the great work!
