SNOFEST IDOL TALENT SHOWCASE

Snofest Ido Shannon Stroobach   SNOFEST IDOL TALENT SHOWCASE   SNOFEST IDOL TALENT SHOWCASE

Bravo to all 9 of the Snofest Idol participants! This year's performances went above and beyond anything we've seen since the Snofest Idol debut three years ago and the judges were absolutely torn about narrowing it down to the top three singers.

Congratulations the top 3 winners:

  • 1st place went to 17 year old Shannon Stoobach who won a 3 hour recording session at Haggarty Sound Studio, a photo shoot with photographer Mark L. Craighead and $200 in cash.
  • 2nd place went to 20 year old Missy Knott who will take home $100.
  • 3rd place went to 16 year old Alaura Jopling who earned $50.

A special thanks to Bridget Foley and The Gospel Girls who brought the house down with their rendition of the brand new Snofest Idol theme song composed by Danny Bronson.
