Liberty National Bank employees in Ada are excited for Raegan Cox who will have a live audition for the popular NBC show "America's Got Talent" at Cobo Center in Detroit on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Raegan's mom, Heather, works at the bank. Reagan, 11, is a sixth grader at Miller City Schools where she participates in choir and band. She has participated in a state-wide choir, sang for St. Nicholas Catholic Church for the Children’s Mass, and entertains in nursing homes.

She has accomplished all of this without any voice lessons - a natural talent.
