Heaster is one of the semi-finalists who will be seen through Mar. 19. Her one-minute commentary will be aired and then placed on http://www.blackhillsfox.com for viewers to watch and rate.

One competitor from each week will then advance to the final round in May. The winner from that group will receive a $4,000 college scholarship, with a total of $7500 in scholarship money awarded from KEVN Black Hills FOX and Monument Health.
