    Calling all Aroostook County children ages 5-16. Are you a singer, dancer, juggler, musician, comedian, actor or magician who loves to perform? If so, the Caribou Children’s Discovery Museum has a competition for you! Auditions for the Kounty Kids Got Talent Contest will be held Saturday, Nov. 6 at 9 a.m. at the Caribou Performing Arts Center.
     Sixteen finalists and two alternates will be chosen to compete in two age divisions: 10 and under and 11-16 years old. Registration fee is $5.
    The talent show will be held at CPAC on Sunday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the first-place finishers in each category. As on “America’s Got Talent,” the audience will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite talent.
    The judges who will help evaluate the contestants are Fireman Fred, Melanie Saucier from Fort Kent and last year’s winner and Miss Caribou, Alyson Michaud. Each of the judges will perform during the tabulation of the votes. 
    More information is available by calling Nancy Chandler at 760-2556.
    All proceeds will benefit the Caribou Children’s Discovery Museum.
