The applause was loud and the smiles were big in Dawson County Friday night as hundreds of people gathered at the Performing Arts Center to watch an incredible display of talent. The 8th annual ConnectAbility Night of Stars Talent Show was a massive success that brought many first-time performers up on stage for a night they won’t soon forget. From tumbling and cheerleading to dancing and sword fighting to singing and poetry, there was something for everyone to enjoy. “It was a magical night,” said Edith Banta, whose Exceptional students participated in the show by performing and handing out coffee at the concessions table. “Each act was a testimony to the many gifts each person has and the ability to showcase them on stage was very moving.”
