The wildly popular pop quartet Big Time Rush of Nickelodeon fame is likely to take the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre by storm at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, and you can win a shot at a private meet-and-greet. You have until 4 p.m. today to put your name in the mix at the mall Customer Service Center. Ten winners will be selected, and each will get to bring one guest. (One entry per person.) On Sunday, radio station 97BHT will broadcast live from 12-2 p.m. near JCPenney. Until 2 p.m., you can enter another drawing, from which 40 names will be chosen. Those winners also can bring one guest each. And just who is this Big Time Rush? Well, none other than four real-life best friends: Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena Jr. and Logan Henderson.
