WAYNESFIELD, OH (WLIO) - A Waynesfield native needs your vote to perform the national anthem at a big event in Las Vegas.
Candace Muir won the contest to perform at the National Finals Rodeo in December last year, but a horrific car accident in November left her unable to attend with many months of recovery. Muir is giving the contest a second chance and finds herself among the top 8 finalists. Muir has performed in several bands including Ohio State Lima's a capella group. She is honored to have the support of local friends and family and hopes to hit the big stage in December.
"To sing the national anthem, especially at in Vegas, that would be a dream come true for many and you know, I'm not a famous singer by any means so maybe I'll get there by singing the national anthem. Reba did - that's how she became famous," commented Candace Muir, finalist for national anthem contest.
The top two finalists will go on to the National Finals Rodeo in December. Voting is open through October 5th - vote by visiting NFR National Anthem Contest website.
