The 10th<\/sup> anniversary of the Family Traditions HOOT (Help Out Our Town) is just a few weeks away and founder\/organizer Tina Turley can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always a good time,\u201d says the country singing sensation who, alongside her friend Karen Wood, coordinates the annual event.<\/p>\n

Tina Turley and the Loose Boots will be just one of 13 musical acts this year. A lineup of great music has always been one of the best aspects of the HOOT, as great tunes can always bring great people together.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing our tenth<\/sup> year, more and more people have taken an interest,\u201d explains Turley, adding that she\u2019s continued to receive a lot of feedback on the event. \u201cEveryone goes home happy and can\u2019t wait until next year. And what better way to raise some money for a local cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turley decided to organize the event to give a little something back to the community. The first few HOOT events directed proceeds to Muskoka Youth and Family Services. Two years ago, The Table Soup Kitchen became the recipient of HOOT funds, and last year $5,200 was raised. The year before that $4,400 was raised, a sure sign it keeps getting better and better.<\/p>\n

Seeing Tina Turley perform is always a highlight of the HOOT. She’s one of 13 musical acts set to take the stage.<\/p><\/div>\n

Turley knows how important certain non-profit organizations are and donating proceeds from the HOOT gives her peace of mind that the funds are staying in town.<\/p>\n

Originally, the HOOT was held at the Huntsville Fairgrounds, but has since changed its location and is now held at the Stisted Fairgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
