Welcome to New Milford Idol!

New Milford Idol Quarterfinalists

“Incredible”, “entertaining”, “fun”, and “impressive” are just a few words that were used to describe the quarterfinal competition of New Milford Idol last Saturday. Throughout the night the enormous audience and the four discerning judges watched and listened intently to the twenty four contestants. Each performer gave their best performance of the competition and made the show one of the best in New Milford Idol’s history. One noteworthy performance came from John Mackiewicz where he not only demonstrated his vocal abilities but also showed off his stylish dance moves and tuxedo t-shirt. Karen Pavlik sent shock waves through The Cookhouse with her powerful voice and passionate performance, including a harmonica solo. There is not enough space here to mention all the wonderful aspects of each performance last Saturday. The only way to experience the passion and talent that those present at The Cookhouse enjoyed now is to come to Village Fair Days on Friday July 24th at 7 pm and watch the final show. Here is a list of the fourteen finalists who will appear at Village Fair Days. The Village Fair Days Committee would like to thank its primary sponsor All American Waste, LLC and The First National Bank of Litchfield for its generous support of the New Milford Idol competition.
