I regret to inform you that 'So you think KENT has talent!' 2013 will not be able to take place this year. We are not able to get the sponsorships that we need to be able to continue. Baldwin Chiropractic, Nigel Cooper Photography and Intimate Pilates did sign on to sponsor this year but we were in need of much more. We thank them deeply for their support!!
I am looking at other ways to make the show more inexpensive and getting more businesses involved with sponsorships. I will keep you posted in the future as to what direction this show will take.
Thank you for your support, past and present, and we look forward to having you involved with 'So you think KENT has talent!' in the future.
Take care, Tonya MW Goodwillie
