[Ohio-Talk] Convention Time

[Wanda]

We or there is a blind gentleman that most of us in OH know about.  Kenny Baccus and his group jammed it up lat last year's State Convention.  And having an open talent show is not a bad idea.  The National has always done this.

With the sheer amount of talent we have in the state, this could most
definitely be a great addition to the convention. Last year, we did a
virtual choir, and this years performance spotlight could come in the form
of a talent show.
