Got Talent 'thanks'

Dear editor:

First Step's Got Talent was recently held at the Hot Springs Convention Center in Horner Hall. The show would not have been possible without help from many.

We would like to thank LeeAnn Shewbart and her staff at the Hot Springs Convention Center, Candi Kitchens and everyone at Turf Catering. They were a great group to work with and were very accommodating with our many needs.

Our sincere thanks and gratitude goes to Wheeler Printing for our programs, the video and photographic ninjas that were everywhere, Nate Lampinen, David Weldon, Daniel Sample and Todd Macrchese, and to the best DJ around, Terrence Peck.

A talent show wouldn't be complete without judges. Once again, we had the best of the best. Thank you to Karen Kight, April Reed and Bill Triplett. Shows of this magnitude could not be pulled off without an army of volunteers and we had them.

Thanks to each and every one of you for all you did. First Step's Got Talent would not have been as great as it was without all the help we had.

Thank you,

Blake Patterson and Kathy Patterson
