No this isn't a Backstreet Boys concert, it's the annual Mr. Big Dawg Contest, sponsored by the Cedartown High School DECA Club.
This year's contest will feature the theme of "Decades."
The contest will be held Thursday, Jan. 25, at 7 p.m., at the Cedartown Civic Auditorium.
All participants will dress and display a talent either in the styles of the 1950's, 60's, 70's or 80's.
The competitors will compete in two areas: formal wear, which requires a tuxedo, and talent.
Pam Sullins, DECA advisor, explains that several different types of talents have been submitted for the contest.
An Elvis Presley impersonator, skits from the motion picture "Grease," as well as singing and dancing will be featured in the contest.
Entertainment for the night will be provided by PACE (Performing Arts Cherokee Elementary) and a dance skit featuring the underclassmen contestants.
CHS staff members Chris McKelvey and Kriss York will be serving as emcees for the night.
The public is invited to attend the event and tickets can be purchased for $5 in advance at Holmes Clothing, Holmes for Her, Cedarstream Shirt Company, Moore's and Brackett's Cleaners.
