Plaxton & The Void Win Talent Contest
Months of speculation came down to one big announcement Monday night when the top two talents of the Kosciusko’s Got Talent contest were announced during the open ceremony of the Kosciusko County Community Fair.
Over 35 entries were received in our talent contest, but only two emerged on top as voted on by our readers.
