The Stables & Martini Bar, is coming off the huge success of a 13-week, Wednesday night, Mid Michigan Idol Challenge that brought out over 90 singing contestants and hundreds of fans each week (for 3 months) to the Stables during the summer.

Stables followed that up with a very successful Michigan's Got Talent that ended December 5th with Micah walking away with the top prize.

Stables is now hoping that they can duplicate the same success (again) with a more general talent competition. "We're looking for the most talented people in Mid Michigan," Art Dore said. "C'mon down . . . Show us what you got."

The follow-up competition (which began on January 9th) is called: MICHIGAN'S GOT TALENT II - Winter 2008! The competition will run every Wednesday night at Stables for 13 weeks.

Every four weeks, FINALISTS will be named.

"We're looking for any kinds of acts or musicians or dog tricks," said Buehl.
