And a special thank you to Jessica Oliver, last year’s winner, for her very special encore performance.

Thank you to our faithful and hardworking volunteers: Donna Crowe, Edrie Csendes, Josh Hite, Rebecca Coffey, Madison Yakabowki, Allie Duty-VanBryce, Andrea Heuston and Trish Trickey.

Thank you to Stacy Sepeda and Michael McManus, our staff who work hard behind the scenes. Thank you to Harley Brumbaugh for being the master of ceremonies for the second year.

Thank you to Nels Melgaard and the Nursery at Mount Si for the floral arrangements.

And, thank you to everyone who attended the Sno Valley Idol and cheered the performers on. We couldn’t have asked for a better audience.

We would also like to congratulate Shaye Hodgins, the 2006 Sno Valley Idol Junior winner.

We hope to see you all next year for Season III.

Look for information about auditions in January 2007.
