TXU Energy Turkey Calling Contest 2014

***Disclosure-My family and I will be participating in this year's TXU Energy turkey trot as we did last year.  Thanks to TXU Energy for being our sponsor.

The annual TXU Energy turkey calling contest is set for 10 a.m. at the Houston Zoo on Saturday.

The event, at the Children’s Zoo Butterfly stage, will start with a visit from a turkey and its handler. Houston-area media personalities then will compete in a turkey calling contest for a chance to win a Houston-area tree planting in their honor next year. After the media squawking, zoo guests will be invited to try to gobble up prizes from TXU Energy and the Houston Zoo.

The contestants are:

Todd Freed | The KUBE Channel 57

Craig Hlavaty | Houston Chronicle

Samica Knight | KTRK – ABC 13

Kyrie O’Connor | Houston Chronicle

GREGO | Newsfix and CW39

Jillian “JJ” Simmons | 97.9 The Box

Rebecca Spera | Mirror/Mirror
