The 2020 Dr. Matthew Kennedy Memorial Talent Hunt

Bro. Juan Culp, chairman, along with members of the Talent Hunt planning committee, once again, executed a first-class event.

The 2020 Dr. Matthew Kennedy Memorial Talent Hunt was deemed a huge success, both in terms of the talent displayed by the contestants and the level of attendance.

The Nashville Public Library auditorium was an ideal setting for the contestants to showcase their talents.
