‘World Travelers’ to Enjoy 16th Annual UPMC Children’s Ball

WHAT: The 16th annual UPMC Children's Ball will take visitors to “faraway lands” where they’ll explore international cultures, and fill a “passport” with stamps from around the world, all inside the Carnegie Science Center.

WHO: Children of all ages, parents, grandparents and friends

WHEN: 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday, March 10, 2012

WHERE: Carnegie Science Center, One Allegheny Ave., North Shore, Pittsburgh
