West County’s Got Talent takes place tonight

A local spin of the long-running popular TV show “America’s Got Talent” takes the stage Friday.

West County’s Got Talent features talented students of all ages. This competition takes place Friday, Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. in West County High School’s gymnasium. Admission is $8.

West County Choir Director Ryan Hassell has worked hard to make this production a success since it began more than a decade ago.

The 2025 installment of West County’s Got Talent has 29 acts, including students in elementary, middle, and high school.

“This is going to be a great show!” said Hassell. “You won’t want to miss it!”

He added that proceeds from this talent show benefit the student activities funds in West County’s elementary, middle and high schools.

“These funds are used for different incentives for our students,” he added, “so please consider supporting our local talent.”
