Tri-Cities Got Talent Finals, Paramount Theatre

      The Tri-Cities do have talent!  On June 12, 2010, the finalist banged it out at the Paramount Theatre in Bristol, VA.  Special thanks from me to my 2nd, Deanna, who jumped in to take all the backstage photos and then was kind enough to let me take over her camera for close-ups while I left mine on a tripod!

      All of the acts were amazing, but the in the end there could be only one.  Who did the judges decide to send to the America's Got Talent auditions?  Take a look!

Here are all of the finalist.  They started the show off by helping singing the Kari's Heart Foundation song and sharing some of the statistics from the foundation.

Getting ready

In the end the Judges announced four runner's up and one champ . . .

The Fourth Runner-up - Andrea Hoskins

The Third Runner-up - Open Altar

The Second Runner-up - Galienne Gilmer Park

The First Runner-up - Dominque Dy (Find her on YouTube - she's awesome!)

She fell asleep before the winners were announced!

And the Winner is . . .

Carson Peters, the 6 year old fiddler!
