Local kids wake up to Good Morning America

YOUNGSTOWN — To add Halloween flavor to this morning’s broadcast, “Good Morning America” welcomed some little tykes in costume from the Mahoning Valley.

Stacy Piersant of Austintown brought Tinker Bell and Peter Pan for their 15 minutes of fame at Youngstown State University.

Piersant’s children, Hailey, 3, and Preston, 2, both attend the Wee Care Day Care on the YSU campus and were invited to be part of the GMA broadcast.

“It’s cool that something this big is in the area,” Piersant said.

The kids were part of the holiday flare on the show and stood with host Chris Cuomo as he aired live across the country.

During the break Cuomo was very cordial and glad to interact with the costumed kids and their parents.

“I cannot believe how long these kids are standing still,” he said.
