Hoptown Idol returns Friday at Sounds at 6

‘Hoptown Idol’ returns at Sounds at 6 in downtown Hopkinsville Friday night.

Parks and Recreation Superintendent Tab Brockman says several talented participants have already been selected in submitted video auditions and an open mic will begin at 5:45 p.m. at Founders Square.

The winner will receive $500 cash and a two-hour recording session with Richie Acevedo at ARC Exhibit Studios and 20 minutes of secondary stage time at next year’s Summer Salute.

The weather should cooperate and there will be plenty to eat at the event.
