FRESNO, CA - On Saturday, March 8th, the home of the Fresno Grizzlies will welcome "Whos" of all ages as Mayor Alan Autry and the City of Fresno attempt to earn a special hometown screening of the upcoming animated feature "Horton Hears A Who". Fresnans are encouraged to come to Chukchansi Park at 2:00pm on Saturday to help Fresno's bid to be heard above other competing cities around the nation.

20th Century Fox and USA Today have challenged communities across the United States to raise their voices in one designated area and proclaim, "We are here!", just as Who-Ville's Who's do in the film's climax. At the appointed time, all Fresnans gathered at Chukchansi Park, led my Mayor Autry, will yell this tagline while special sound meters measure decibel levels.

The loudest city will be announced in the March 12th issue of USA Today, and win a special screening of "Horton Hears a Who" on March 13th with a cast member from the movie.

"Chukchansi Park belongs to the City of Fresno, and we're looking forward to hosting this show of community spirit, "said Grizzlies Executive Vice President Andrew Stuebner. "The Park was originally intended not just for sporting events, but to be a gathering place for the community, and this is just another example of Chukchansi Park being the most versatile venue in the Central Valley."

Participants are asked to arrive at Chukchansi Park by 2:00pm on Saturday, and enter through Gate 2 on H Street. The Horton Hears You Hometown Challenge is being presented with the help of the Mayor's Office and Peak Broadcasting.
