David Cook’s homecoming plans

by Reed Dunn

David Cook performs Tuesday night on American Idol. Plans are underway in Missouri to celebrate the finalist’s success this Friday.

If he survives tonight — and he will — David Cook will be welcomed home to Missouri with a celebration unlike many others.

According to the Kansas City Star, plans are underway for the finalists to play a free concert at 11:30 a.m. Friday in the Power & Light District. The concert will be followed by a homecoming parade, the David Cook Homecoming Celebration Parade and Concert to be exact, in his real hometown, nearby Blue Springs. The parade is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m., and that concert is sold out.

Blue Springs is so thrilled with their hometown boy that the city even has set up a David Cook hotline for news and information. If you’re interested, the number is 816-655-0490.

While his day already will be quite packed, Cook also is expected to be at the Kansas City Royals game Friday night. He’s on deck to throw out the first pitch, and he may even sing a version of Take Me Out to the Ball Game. If, for some odd reason, Cook gets the boot tonight, all plans for his homecoming celebration will be canceled.
