4-H Talent Show

The North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center held their annual 4-H Talent Show on Tuesday, May 1st in the County Agricultural Building. There were 25 performing acts, five fashion entries, and 61 non-performing talent and art. The talent of our young people is simply amazing! The overall winners were the CIA Acoustic Band which is made up of Alex and Hope Arrowood, Nathan and Seth Barrick, Lindsey and Sidney Hooker, Katie and Tori Jones, Andrew and David Allen Pledger, Carlee and Neil Tesh performing “A Tribute to Chicken Bob”. Second went to Josiah Gourley performing “The River Flows in You” and third to Brandon Joyce who played an emotional version of “Canon in D/Give Thanks” on the piano.
