These are photos of me with my daughter Kellie on stage at the third annual Red Robinson’sTalent Showdown at the PNE. The show this year was exceptional and Kellie proved herself to be a natural on stage.

Each day for four days we introduced 10 candidates. Every day there was a first, second and third place winner. The winners went on to the finals on the fourth day of the competition. Daily winners took home 1st prize, $300, 2nd prize $200 and 3rd prize $100. The grand champion on day 4 walked away with a cheque for $5000, second winner received $3000 and third place won $1000.

This is a well-loved show and the audience for each daily group of performances is outstanding. This is the showcase that discovered Michael Bublé and country singer Michele Wright. I look forward to next year!
