Puyallup Fair Looking For Talent for Contest

It may not be American Idol. It may not even be America’s Got Talent. But the Puyallup Fair does have the Catch a Rising Star Talent Show Sept. 22-24 at the Showplace Stage.

If you can sing, dance or play an instrument the Puyallup Fair wants you.

Solos, duos, and groups ages 5 and older can enter the competition for a chance to win $1,000 in prizes.

The event will consist of two semi-final competitions Sept. 22 and 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. The semi-finals will be judged by professionals, who will choose who will continue on to the finals. Finalists will compete Sept. 24 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The first prize winner in the 5-11 year old category will receive $200, the 12-17 winner will receive $400, and the 18 and older winner will receive $500.

Walk-up entries for the semi-finals are welcome, however it is advised that performers pre-register as space is limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.  Performers that pre-register will receive a ticket per each performer to enter the fair on their assigned semi-finals day.

Registration is $10 for solos or $20 for groups of two or more. For more information
