MEETING SET TO PLAN `CHRISTMAS HOOT'

A meeting to organize the third annual "Christmas Hoot" will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Port Cape Girardeau restaurant.

The "Christmas Hoot" is planned for Friday, Dec. 22 and will feature more than 30 musical performances saluting rock, country and blues and the Christmas holiday.

The "Hoot" also honors the musical contributions of a Cape Girardeau area entertainer.

Event coordinator Bob Camp said the organizational meeting will be held to determine the feasibility of including the entire downtown business area.

"We'd like to see if there's any interest on the part of other downtown establishments to get involved in this," Camp said.

Proceeds from the 1994 event were donated to the Cottonwood Residential Treatment Center at 1025 N. Sprigg.

This year's event again will benefit a local charity, which is yet to be named. For more information about the "Christmas Hoot," contact Camp at 335-1070 or Troy Treasure 651-1685.
