Marquee Mirror: Virtual Talent Show for Cowley County Now Open for Voting 

Marquee Performing Arts Center has announced that voting is now open for entries in its inaugural online talent show, called Marquee Mirror: A Virtual Talent Show for Cowley County. The online competition features videos and photos of entries, and allows viewers to vote for their favorite entries in visual and performing arts. Area businesses have contributed cash & prizes for the competition, which will feature categories for adults and youth (18 and below).  

Entries were due by midnight on Friday, March 19, and voting will take place throughout the next week, closing at midnight on Friday, March 26. Winners will be announced on March 27 at 8:00pm. While there was no fee to enter the competition, voters will be asked to contribute $1 for a single vote, $5 for 5 votes, or $10 for 10 votes, with proceeds going to support the Marquee and Winfield Arts and Humanities Council. To vote, go to visit marqueepac.org/marqueemirrorvoting 

Marquee Board President Roger Moon: “While there is a fee to vote, we do not see this event primarily as a fundraiser, which is why the cost of voting is set so low. The Marquee has organized live talent shows in the past, and they have generally been very popular. We thought that this was a way we could reach out to the community, and folks could get involved in something that showcases the talent and resources of our community at a time when getting together to watch a talent show is impossible. And I must say that area businesses were so very supportive when we approached them with the idea.”  

The Wellness and Wine Festival at the scenic Wheat State Wine Co. was created to highlight area fitness pros and provide a showcase for local opportunities to help YOU jumpstart your fitness journey! Thought of trying a fitness class, but not sure which is right for you? We have a little something for everyone with five mini-classes planned: STRONG Nation (Sarah Johnson), CrossFit (Tara Sutton), Zumba (Sarah Johnson), Fit Over 50 (Aritha Paris), and Yoga (Nicole Thayer). Personal trainer and nutrition expert, Jennifer Howard of Strong Fitness, will get us warmed up and lead a discussion on nutrition.

Plus, each ticket purchase includes an event t-shirt and a complimentary glass of wine. Local wellness and beauty vendors will be onsite. Classic and healthy options from Three Critters BBQ food truck will be available for purchase around lunchtime to give you the fuel you need.
Water and Gatorade will be provided. If you have a mat, bring it! If you don’t, a small number of sanitized mats will be available.

We are ready to kick off the start of summer with this fun IN-PERSON event! Our vision is to inspire others to take charge of their health through movement, mindfulness, nourishment, and connection.
