The Texaco Showdown is where stars like Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus and Sara Evans got their start on the road to stardom. They have a chance to win the $100,000.00 grand prize.
Recently Lillie and T.J. performed in the Ellendale Talent Show. T.J. won first place overall and Lillie was fourth. T.J. and Lillie did a performance together which Lillie’s mom and dad, Amy and Brian Nielsen, video taped and submitted the video to the Texaco Country Showdown Web site.
