The Gong Show, held live in Barriere at the Fall Fair Hall last Saturday was a resounding success for participants and spectators. The North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo Association fundraiser featured over 20 acts during the evening; which included a trained baby goat, a fortune teller comedian, dancers, singers, storytellers, an elocutionist and more. At the end of the evening the panel of judges scored the winners: first place singer Noel Pelayo of McLure who received two standing ovations for his performances; drummer Manuel Eustache who brought the house down with his amazing abilities as a musician; and Hannah Taggart who sang her heart out to the enthusiastic appreciation of the audience.
