This year we dedicate the 3rd Annual Dogtown Street Musicians Festival to the memory of Charlotte Peters who passed away on December 27th, 1988. She was known affectionately as the "First Lady of St. Louis".

The Dedication Plaque reads: "The Third Annual Dogtown Street Musicians Festival, held on September 15, 2012, is dedicated to the memory of Charlotte Peters, the “First Lady of St. Louis” who hosted her local weekday variety TV show for 23 years and volunteered her time for our parish plays and productions. We are proud to honor this great Dogtown Entertainer."
