The friend dared Kelly to compete in an upcoming talent contest. Kelly took her dare and ended up winning 1st place in two categories. This gave Kelly the courage to enter and win several more talent contests. While living in Corning, she was a regular performer at a little place called "The Round-UP". Many people have called it the "Grand Ole Opry of Arkansas". Eventually, Kelly joined a band called the Heirs of the Confederacy.
