Garrettsville Summerfest recently held their auditions for Garrettsville Idol. Due to the pandemic, the committee felt it was better to do the first round of auditions virtually. Contestants were to upload a video of themselves singing acapella a song of their own choosing.
The judges, Wendi Brown, Jackie Rinearson and Danny Deakins had the difficult task of determining who was moving forward to round two — which will be held next month.
Congratulations to our winners who have advanced to the next round:
Adults
Brooke Behnke, Sara Freedson, Kristina Rossi, Jesse Hodges, Aimee Beelen Frendak, Dani Nicole, Rachael Maddox, Jason Stachowski, Lexi Smith, Tony Chiancone, Josh Evans, Cheyenne Head, Elek Kitchen, Madeline Scarvelli, Amber Harrison, Faye Knippenberg, and Darren Gartrell.
Teens
Ashley Yankello, Jordan Haney and Ilona Kitchen
Youth

The Garrettsville Idol Semi-finals will be held on Thursday, July 15th in downtown Garrettsville on the Buckeye Block. The live performances will begin at 6 pm and are open to the public. The winners of this round will move on to sing on the Summerfest Main Stage – August 7th.
