James Spence and Solveig Stafford react after Spence is announced the third-place finisher in the NRHEG Snow Week talent show Friday, Feb. 5 in the high school gymnasium in New Richland. Spence was too shy to perform his act in front of the crowd, instead singing "Dock of the Bay" from behind the curtain. Lillie Nielsen and Ben Witikko were awarded first place. Second went to Tanner Smith-Vulcan. (Star Eagle photo by Jim Lutgens)
