Bar’s plans fundraiser around iconic Geelong identity Deeta Deeta” A GEELONG bar is urging its patrons to dress up as the city’s most famous
street person, “Deeta”, for a charity gig. Cloud 9’s owner Gorge Camorra came up the idea after noticing Deeta (some spell it Dieter) had notched up almost 4000 friends on social networking internet site Facebook. He said the bar’s staff and security would don the get-up of Deeta during the fundraising bash with money raised donated to the Salvation Army. Mr Camorra said people would be handed prizes for the best-dressed Deeta. He said the bar would do its best to get Deeta into the Pakington St nightspot during the fundraiser.
“He is just so popular and all these people are joining up on the site (Facebook) and this is a good way of raising awareness rather than just having a bit of a laugh,” he said.
