The Coca-Cola Talent Classic showcases talented youth, ages 13-21, who competed in preliminary competitions throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The top three from each preliminary traveled to the Kentucky State Fair to compete in the semi-finals. The top 20 finalists were named earlier this week at the Kentucky State Fair, and represent five percent of the more than 400 youth who took part in this year’s Coca-Cola Talent Classic.
