They're at it again at the Stables Martini & Cigar Bar on Bay City's West Side.
"This is a great crowd," said Stables Manager John Buehl as the nightclub began filling at around 8:00 pm on Wednesday. "I think we have 10 acts signed up already and there's a chance for more," Buehl said.
"Any new act is welcome, any time," Buehl said. "Just come on down any Wednesday and we'll get you in the competition that night."
This past Wednesday, talent included: Chimene McElwain, Josh Rex, Mark Davis, Kendra Woody, Caleb Pijaszek, Karen Powell and Matt Gregory all got the "Thumbs Up" from the judges and will be back for another round on September 19th.
On-line voting, sponsored by Labadie's Dick Bork and Silver Sand Limo's Ray Stack begins with this week's coverage of the Michigan's Got Talent Competition.

The Stables & Martini Bar, is coming off the huge success of a 13-week, Wednesday night,
Mid Michigan Idol Challenge that brought out over 90 singing contestants and hundreds of fans each week (for 3 months) to the Stables during the summer.
Stables is now hoping that they can duplicate the same success with a more general talent competition. "We're looking for the most talented people in Mid Michigan," Art Dore said. "C'mon down . . . Show us what you got."
The follow-up competition (which began on September 5th) is called:
MICHIGAN'S GOT TALENT! The competition will run for 13 weeks.
"We're looking for any kinds of acts or musicians or dog tricks," said Buehl.
