BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Rotary Club’s “Hometown Idol” contest kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday in Crooker Theater at Brunswick High School on Maquoit Road.
Twenty-one contestants of all ages will vie for trophies, a cash prize and the honor of being named Brunswick’s “Hometown Idol.” Performance categories include instrumentalists, vocalists and dancers in either solo or group performances. Prizes, trophies and ribbons will be awarded in each age and talent category.
Age categories are youth (6 to 12 years old), teen (13 to 18 years old) and adult (19 to 99 years old).
A panel of judges will help the audience decide the winner. Tracy McLean, a vocal coach at Bowdoin College and jazz performer; Lynne McGhee, community relations manager at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and a freelance artist; and Josh Davis, co-founder of The Gelato Fiasco, will serve as celebrity judges.
Steven Peterson, executive director of the Maine State Music Theatre, will act as mas- ter of ceremonies.
A raffle will be held in conjunction with the show. Two prizes will be awarded: One overnight at the Captain Daniel Stone Inn with a $50 credit for dinner, and one overnight at the Inn at Brunswick Station. Tickets are $5 for one and $10 for three.
