Season 3 of Wetzel County Idol was a great success. Each year I am amazed at how many greatly talented people from our area step up to compete. I'm extremely lucky to have one of the best seats in the house as the Master of Ceremonies. To see these artists grow round after round, and sometimes, year after year is wonderful. I am proud of the way that everyone supports each other. Everyone has kind words of support for each other. Last night, Crows Company put on a clinic of how to win. The cash prize is nothing to sneeze at, but the spot on the big stage at Back Home Festival is the big prize in my eyes. Crows Company will put on a show for the ages this summer. The creation of art is never really a competition. Every finalist could've taken the title this year. Rustbelt Radio, Casey Minor, and David Chichick Jr all gave excellent performances last night and I hope they consider entering next year. If you see any of these people on a marquee, rest assured you're in for a great show. Congratulations again to Crows Company! I can't wait to announce ya'll to the stage at Back Home 2026!
