SAINT JOHN, N.B.- Auditions for children who want to perform during the Empty Stocking Fund take place Saturday at Saint John High.

Fund talent coordinator Val Teed says over 70 children have registered to audition.

She recognizes many of the names of those auditioning from last year. “We largely have mostly vocals”, says Teed. “We sometimes are treated to an instrumentalist or a dancer or a particularly good little group. I really won’t know until everyone starts to arrive”.

There are only 26 talent slots to fill.

The 100th annual Empty Stocking Fund will broadcast live on News 88.9 and Rogers TV November 24th.
