2016 LOGAN COUNTY FAIR
LINCOLN DAILY NEWS July 29 - August 6, 2016 Page 273
Charming young hoola-hoopers
and newly formed rock band
capture awards at Talent Show
F
riends and family crowded
into the Lincoln Stage building
on Saturday afternoon for the
Logan County Fair Talent Show.
Coordinator and Emcee for the
afternoon, Darlene Begolka,
introduced the judges: Rachel Hall-
Jordan, Laura Lee, and Connie
Dehner. Fair Queen, Miss Michelle
Paulus, and Little Miss Logan
County, Paisley Baker, welcomed
everyone to the fair and wished
the contestants best of luck with
Paisley adding, “May the winners
be happy!”
There were four acts in the Junior
Division – young people not over
14 years of age by October 1:
Maycee started the afternoon
singing “We Can Be Stars,” a nice
selection to start the afternoon, as
each talent show participant was
a star in the eyes of the audience
members.
Baylee and Zoi, who enjoy
entertaining their families, sang
a duet last year, but this year
they split into two solo acts, each
singing a song of choice.
The winners of the Junior Division,
sisters Alianah and Sophie Kodatt,
won the hearts of everyone as they
hoola hooped to the “Cha-Cha
Slide.”
Alianah is seven years old and her
little sister Sophie is five years
old. Along with hoola hooping,
the girls enjoy singing, dancing,
and 4-wheeling. Alianah used to
take dance lessons but her mom is
a cheerleading coach and Alianah
decided she didn’t need to pay for
dance lessons when they dance at
home all the time. Alianah wants to
be a teacher when she gets older;
while Sophie would be happy if
she has a career in dancing.
