LAKEPORT – The annual talent competition at the Lake County Fair drew a capacity crowd again this year as local performers took the stage on Saturday, Sept. 5, with an array of showmanship that ranged from hip hop to gymnastics.
Five-year-old Lauren Trippeer took first place with her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the soundtrack to the movie "The Wizard of Oz." Lauren picked the melody on her Harmony guitar as she sang along in perfect pitch to a hushed crowd. Her efforts won her a check for $80 along with a shiny blue ribbon.
Second place honors went to the dance duo called "Fly By," who performed a rousing hip hop dance to the song "Starstruck" by Lady Gaga. Brandi Lindsey, age 12, and Victoria Zendejas, age 13, both of Kelseyville dazzled the crowd with their charm and precision that showcased each girl's dedication to her craft. The award for second place winners is a check for $60 along with a beautiful red ribbon.
Third place went to the lovely Kelci Peterson of Clear Lake Oaks, age 7. Kelci performed a song and dance routine to the song "He Could Be the One" by Hannah Montana. Kelci's efforts earned her a white ribbon along with a check for $40.
Mickey the Clown, a regular fixture at the Lake County Fair, emceed the event with his usual effervescence.
After warming up the crowd, Mickey kept the show moving with a steady stream of jokes and a couple of songs.
Volunteering to serve as judges for the competition were Miss Lake County Taylor-Paige Butler and Miss Lake County Outstanding Teen Katie Murphy.
