We began the evening with a silent auction in the hallway. There were so many goodies to choose from - 1 hour massage from Detox Massage, photography with Giah Photography, Movie In/Movie Out baskets, Game Night basket, Rainy Day Reading basket, and so much more! 
Amanda Maas kicked off the variety show with her performance of "When Will My Life Begin" from Disney's Tangled. The evening was full of entertainment - spoken word, a bluegrass band, screamo, punk/rock, and stand up comedy.
Paul Schoolmeesters & Dayton Dodge emceed the evening and included a few acts of their own - the history of worship music, impersonations of each other, and the conjoined twin - "Paulton."
In the end, the Emcees's Choice Award went to Chintya Kaligis & Elayna Abboud for singing, "Call on Jesus." Joshua and Matthew Nelson's juggling and uni-cycling act, "Brotherly Love," received the Fusion Czech Team Choice Award; and, Honorable Mention went to Layla Johnson for singing, "Amazing Grace."
If any of you were on Facebook, you may have noticed a video from Jess Lindgren and Jennifer Stahl, promising that if more than 200 guests attended New Hope's Got Talent, 2 lucky Fusion Czech Team members would receive a pie in the face after the show. Just 15 minutes into the show, we counted our attendance to 214! Colson Wabshaw and Mike Leslie were voted our pie-in-the-face winners!
Below are a few more pictures from the night. Many thanks to our tech and sound team, stage managers, silent auction donors and bidders, those that participated in and attended the variety show!
