The Neosho Rotary Club is sponsoring an  On Stage  talent show Saturday, Oct. 5.

The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Neosho municipal building.

The Rotary Club is a civic club, which raises money for service projects in the area. Half of the money for the show will go toward service projects in the Neosho area, and the other half goes toward the Polio Plus program, which is sponsored by all Rotary Clubs for the eradication of polio.

This is the first year for the talent show and turnout is expected to be big.

 There is a lot of talent in this area and it gives amateurs a chance to show off their talent,  said Sue White, co-chairperson of the fund-raiser committee.

The cost to enter is $15, and participants must be 18 years or older. The show will consist of three divisions: vocal, instrumental and dance. The winners from each category will share a $1,000 prize, and the winner of the vocal category will receive a chance to record a song at a recording studio in Seneca.

Jim Moskeau of the Showboat in Branson will be one of the judges for the competition.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and can be obtained from any Rotarian. Each ticket has a coupon for 10 percent off any meal at the Kitchen Pass and 10 percent off at the Neosho Inn.

 The response is good, hopefully someone can launch a career through this,  said Hazel Pennell, Rotary Club vice president.
