A Bemidji teen walked away from The Minnesota State Fair with a pretty sweet prize! Britta Aas, a junior at Bemidji High School, was awarded 3^rd place at the Minnesota State Fair Amateur Talent Contest in the teen division.

Aas sang and played ukulele to the song “Wagon Wheel.” Aas was one of over 100 teens that auditioned in late July in the preliminary round. From the preliminaries, she was one of 27 to advance to the semifinal round in August. She placed first in her semi-final performance and advanced to the championship round.

Aas competed with nine other teens on the Grandstand Stage on September 2^nd. There were reportedly exactly 7,000 people in the crowd.

As a result of her 3^rd place win, Aas received a $500 cash prize.
