Message from Mr. Bailey:
Every year I usually do a big preliminary talent competition for the
"Mid South Fair" and the national finals are held for an entire week in Memphis,
TN in September.
I have a sanction to do a preliminary in Nashville and portion of the money from the door
and entry fees ($25.00 each) goes to a youth scholarship fund and then another portion
goes to a charity of my choice...so, I thought that CAF would be the one to use a portion
of it.
Terri Lynn, Nashville Blues artist will be
helping by getting some prizes donated for the local competition and I have a location
secured for the event here in Nashville, "The French Quarter Cafe" (specializes
in Cajun Cuisine and has a huge stage and all the sound and lights we need). The date for
the talent event is Saturday, August 16th, 2003 starting at 2:00pm until 6:00pm.
Winners here will go on to the nationals in Memphis and have a chance to win over $10,000
in cash plus a all expense round trip to Hollywood (if a minor, parent goes with them paid
also), a $3,000 portfolio by a famous New York photographer, trophy and when in Hollywood,
they have a pre-arranged audition for a part on a major CBS Television show.
"CBS" is one of the major sponsors of this competition!!!! There are two age
categories for the competition: Juniors (ages 1-11) and Seniors (12-21)....all types of
talents are welcomed....singing (any kind of music), rap, gospel, rock, country,
etc....also, dancers, dance groups, baton twirlers, comedians, actors wanting to do a
short scene, musicians, etc.
The National Competition is the world's oldest amateur talent contest in the USA and past
winners have been Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Jessica Andrews, LeAnn Rimes, Justin
Timerlake and Lanace Bass of "N'SYNC", Faith Hill and tons of others!!!! The
contest celebrates its "51st Anniversary" this year!!! So, you might want to put
the word out for contestants and any state is welcomed to come and have their contestants
enter. They can call 615-780-2955 and leave a message, address and phone number for an
entry form.
