The 3rd Annual Hoodie Hoo Day, hosted by the Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, will take place on Saturday, February 20, 2016 in downtown Charleroi.

Activities begin at 11 a.m. and the group ‘Hoodie Hoo!’ shout will occur precisely at noon to chase any remnants of winter completely away. The shout will occur regardless of severity of weather, and if necessary, some activities will be moved indoors.

Northern Hemisphere Hoodie Hoo Day is an official holiday trademarked by wellcat.com and Charleroi is believed to have the largest crowd on record performing the shout in 2014. It always occurs on February 20. “We are excited,” said Deb Keefer, Chamber Director. “Because February 20 falls on a Saturday this year, we expect our attendance will explode because of area high school and college students who want to participate.”

The planning committee is now developing a promotional and activity plan for downtown businesses and will be seeking sponsors. If anyone would like to be a sponsor, be involved in the planning, or volunteer, please contact the Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce at 724-483-3507.
