Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeff Kinney for a Diary of a Wimpy Kid Drive-Thru Pool Party! This October, the one-and-only Jeff Kinney will be visiting Harrisburg to celebrate his new book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, THE DEEP END. This drive-thru party will be held at the WITF Public Media Center. Check out all the fun details, below!
In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Drive-Thru Pool Party, families will drive through pool party–themed interactive vignettes, such as a lifeguard dunk tank, a tiki hut, a venture underwater, and the final moment when Kinney will personally deliver children their signed copies of THE DEEP END using a six-foot pool skimmer.
TICKETS
Customers must purchase a ticket to attend. Each ticket admits one car, and each ticket includes a signed copy of THE DEEP END. Your order-confirmation serves as your ticket. Please print out the order-confirmation or have it available on your phone when you arrive during check-in.
In order to make the event as seamless as possible, we are offering four different time-slots for ticket-holders: 5:00pm, 5:30pm, 6:00pm, and 6:30pm. Please arrive as close to your time-slot as possible.
SIGNED BOOKS
After you receive your signed copy of THE DEEP END from Jeff at the final station, you may exit the premises or you may stop by our bookselling station to purchase more signed copies of Jeff Kinney’s books. All of these books will be pre-signed by Jeff, and we will have all books in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series available for purchase.
WIMPIFY YOUR CAR
Grab the whole family and Wimpify your car so it’s ready to roll through the Drive-Thru Pool Party! Decorations, signs, and Wimpy-Kid themed costumes are highly encouraged. The family with the best-decorated car will win a boxed set of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.
PHOTOS
Jeff is happy to take socially distanced photos with fans. A staffer will take photos of each family with Jeff. During the photo, families must remain inside their car and Jeff will remain outside. The photos will be available on Eventer after the event. Details on how to download the photos will be provided on a bookmark to each customer at check-in.
