"50+ Strut Your Stuff" Talent Contest for Senior Citizens October 5, 2010

Are you Minnesota’s next superstar?
Why should young people have all the fun? The producers of the
Seniors Expo are auditioning talented Minnesotans age 50+.

Have you ever watched American Idol and thought, “I can do that”? If you can sing, dance, play an instrument or wow an audience with your variety act – and you’ve celebrated at least 50 birthdays – here’s your chance. The producers of the Seniors Expo are holding auditions for the 50+ Strut Your Stuff Talent Contest.

“We’re going to have a rousing good time with this. Much like the TV show, we plan to invite the public to rally around their favorite contestants!” exclaims Robin Kocina, president of Mid-America Events & Expos (www.101expos.com). “We have been producing seniors’ events for 10 years and we know for certain that there are lots of very talented seniors out there. I predict we’ll be blown away by the caliber of the participants.”

The contest is open to all Minnesota residents who reached their 50th birthday by April 6, 2010. To make it an even playing field, only amateurs may enter. Tryouts will take place in late summer/early fall. Contestants will be evaluated on talent, creativity, enthusiasm and appearance. Those with the highest scores will be invited to perform in the final contest, to be held during the Seniors Expo, October 5-6, 2010 at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.

Entry forms and complete information are available at www.101expos.com/seniors or by calling 612-798-7237. There is a $10 entry fee per person.
