Teen Idols take the stage for our 6th Season of Valley Teen Idol 2011… by Valerie Munoz

Saturday, June 11th, our 6th annual Valley Teen Idol Fundraiser was held at CrossWinds Church. The event, quite different this year, was filled with great food, live music by the band “TNT”, wonderful and amazing voices by our young singers, lively entertainment by our auctioneer, Donnie Swartz, a masterful Master of Ceremonies, Steve Paulson and a very talented and inspiring young woman, R & B Artist and Finalist LaToya London. The day also included live music by TNT, a silent auction, live auction and raffle with an array of gifts. Our 11 Idol Finalists gave us their best on stage and some guests that had never been to one of our events before were astonished at the poise, range, stage presence and confidence these young singers possess. We call this our biggest fundraiser of the year but in reality it is a “celebration of the arts” in our community for these young singers.
