WILTON, CA (MPG) - It was all about kids showing off, but in a good way, when the Cosumnes Parks and Recreation Council presented a talent show at the Wilton Community Center on Feb. 23.

The event featured 13 youngsters who entertained the crowd with various talents, including playing musical instruments, singing solos, or performing bicycle tricks.

First graders Rylen Wells, Elijah Hiatt, Alan Ramos, and Emilio Alcaraz take part in a beatboxing performance.

“We received a lot of positive feedback from parents about the value of the opportunity to perform in public,” Nemetz noted, highlighting the joy and satisfaction experienced by all the young participants. Each child received a prize — a $10 gift card to Coldstone Creamery — adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
