WE ARE HERE!!!

It was about a year and a half ago that I was reading "Horton Hears a Who" to Mrs. Brittain's Class during Read Across America week...which also coincided with Dr. Seuss' Birthday.

Well, in the Suess-i-an spirit, I thought I would let you know about something fun that goes along with the new Horton Movie--Here's what I read today:

Fox is challenging communities across the USA to raise their voices and proclaim "We Are Here!" -- just as Who-ville's Whos do in Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! Why? It's a contest tied in to the studio's upcoming movie, and the cities registering the top decibel readings on special sound meters will vie for a sneak screening. The film, with star voices including Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, opens nationwide March 14, but the winning city in the "Horton Hears You Hometown Challenge" will get a sneak peek March 13.
For the registration form and details, go to www.hortonmovie.com/hometownchallenge. (Each office of the mayor, or designated official, must confirm a community's participation.)

So let's get the Mayor on the line (Excuse Me, Dr. Roe,) and go for it!!! The Tri-Cities can get LOUD!!! Bristol should get all 160,000 NASCAR fans to say it. HA!
