Explore PA, the travel series seen on Pennsylvania Public Television Network stations across the Commonwealth is seeking real life families, couples and friends with diverse backgrounds and lifestyles to star in upcoming episodes.

Travelers will be sent on a 3 to 5 day getaway to explore Pennsylvania’s rich heritage, unique small towns, electrifying cities plus beautiful landscapes and action-packed outdoor fun.

Explore PA is a new way of looking at Pennsylvania--a travel series for television that lets viewers explore the state through the eyes of “real” Pennsylvanians. Based on real vacations taken by real travelers at real locations throughout the Commonwealth, armchair travelers discover the state's deep cultural and heritage resources and spectacular outdoor experiences.

The program, produced by WITF-TV in Harrisburg, was made possible through development grants from two Pennsylvania state agencies: The Department of Community and Economic Development and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Funding for Explore PA was also provided by the Pennsylvania Public Television Network, the statewide system of Public Television Stations that will air the series.

Interested persons should send a short description of themselves, family or friends, with photos and telephone number to: explorepa@witf.org . Entries may also be mailed to Explore PA, P.O. Box 2954, Harrisburg, PA 17105
