Idaho Falls has some talent and some of that talent performed on stage Monday night.

A pair of sisters who made it to the finals of America’s Got Talent.

They say their experience on the hit show changed their lives and they wanted to bring a little bit of that to Idaho Falls.

“National, local, whatever, I think it is all great,” said Christina Stutzman, a producer for Idaho Falls’ Got Talent, and contestant of America’s Got Talent in 2010. “It’s a good opportunity for kids and adults to share their talents and show the community.”

“So we just want people to have an opportunity to share their talents. It’s just a fan thing for people.” Said Ali Wilde, the other producer for Idaho Falls’ Got Talent, and participant in America’s Got Talent back in 2010.
