There will be some familiar faces and a few new ones on the stage next month as the Barrow-Civic Theatre and the Franklin Rotary Club present the 6th Annual Celebration of Talent Competition at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4.
The competition showcases the variety of talents of 12 individuals from the Franklin area. Each is given the opportunity to perform in the first part of the event. Then the audience votes for their favorite, with the top five making it into the second round. Each of the finalists performs a second time and the audience votes for the winner, who will receive a $500 cash prize. Second place gets $300 and the third-, fourth- and fifth- place finishers will each receive a $100 Franklin Retail Association gift card.
This year’s contestants are Stefon Austin, Kaleb Beichner, Kayla Christine, Tim Craver, Ethan Culp, Bellina Devine, Kachina Earhart, Wild Will Ion, Alexander Karg, Megan Orris, Almost Famous (Luke Pentz) and Madison Wakefield. Reigning winner Ashlynne Cornmesser will be the emcee and will also perform.
