Little people, big story

METROPOLIS, Ill. — Some of the cast from the TLC reality TV series "Little People Big World" will be in Metropolis to share their experience as part of the show.

Amy Roloff and her children will talk about the hardships of being a little person in a world of big people at 7 p.m. Sunday at Harrah's Metropolis Casino's Riverfront Event Center. An autograph session will follow the talk.

Upcoming episodes of the show, which debuted in March 2006, will be filmed while the family is in Metropolis.

The Roloff family has been in the area before. Last year, they traveled to Paducah, Ky., and shot an episode. They visited Paducah again Monday by way of the American Queen.

"Well, you know each small town has its own specifics and its own character," Amy Roloff said during an interview with WPSD-TV in Paducah. Metropolis has a population almost one-fouth of Paducah.

Tickets for the event cost $20 and are on sale now. Doors will open one hour early. For more information call, 800-935-0050.
