Jeff City Hears a Who!

From the journalism paragon that is the Jefferson City News-Tribune:

If Jefferson City can be the loudest town in America at 1:45 p.m. Sunday at the Capitol, the community will receive a special screening of the movie based on Dr. Seuss' “Horton Hears a Who!”

As in the book and movie, citizens are asked to gather on the Capitol's south lawn with cow bells, horns, other noisemakers and friends to shout “We Are Here!”

Sound experts will be sent to each participating community across the nation to measure the sound level. The town with the highest decibel level will win, said Steve Picker, executive director of the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau.
