By: Julie McCallum, Entertainment Editor

The talent at the Mid-Michigan's Got Talent Competition is only getting better! Competitors are improving and turning it up as we head for the last 4 week competition.

It was a full house last Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at Stables. The Standing Room Only crowd included many local REALTORS. And they were packed into the Stables Martini and Cigar Bar to watch the Michigan's Got Talent III competition.

Five finalists were named at the end of the night which included; Joe DiPiero, the multi-talented Mark Kelley, Geno Cummings, Bridgette Ballor and the always entertaining Chuck Kirkbride.

These five join Kevin Sackit, Drew Brady, Jessica Rex, Lauren Thomas and Joe Atchinson who were named as Finalists in late May.

Five more Finalists will be added on July 2nd after the next 4 weeks of competition.
