Minnesota State Fair Amateur Talent Contest Auditions in July

DO YOU HAVE A TALENT WE SHOULD ALL KNOW ABOUT?

I remember this all too well. I was in high school and auditioning for any music contest I could find. That was how I found my voice; local performances at talent shows that lead to regional talent shows and then shows on a state level.

I PERFORMED AT THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR IN THE 80S

I can't remember the year that I performed at the State Fair, but I did win on my first performance and made it to the finals. I was so excited about the opportunity. I was invited to be on a popular local talk show in the cities at the time, and remember the exhausting few days that followed that first performance. I sang a blues medley while my incredibly talented choir teacher Pat Feit played piano for me. I think the reason we won was because of her amazing talent; to be honest.

Now it's YOUR chance! Do you sing? Do you dance? Do you have some kind of unique talent? The Minnesota State Fair Amateur Talent Contest is a great way for you to get noticed.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
