The Talent Expose is sponsored annually by employees of the Jackson County Child Nutrition Program as a way to provide scholarships to students throughout the county.
“Not only does it give some students a way to show their talents, it also give a way to provide scholarships,” Vaughn previously said.
All funds from the show are placed in a scholarship fund. Approximately 40 students have received $16,550 in scholarships to date.

“I really belives we’ll fill it up this year because its gotten a little bigger each year through word of mouth,” Vaughn said.
