Two Winamac Community High School students, who won in their performance categories at the Pulaski County Fair participated in the Indiana State Fair Youth Talent Show on Friday, Aug. 1.

Senior Joshua Tankersley and sophomore Anabella Niewiadomski performed to an enthusiastic crowd of spectators.

Tankersley performed the song, “Little Wonders,” which was featured by Rob Thomas in the film, Meet The Robinsons. Niewiadomski performed the operatic, Italian aria, “O Mio Babbino Caro” from the opera, Gianni Schicchi. Both students positively represented the Pulaski County community and both had their personal best performance.

WCHS Principal, Rick DeFries commented, “As principal at the high school, I am very proud of both Josh, and Anabella for their performances at the state fair. It's always nice when people from other communities get to hear the talent that we have here in Winamac.”
