VILLA GROVE -- A woman used her special talents to bring down the house at a competition. Last week, we told you about Kari Kinnett.

The 22-year-old is blind and has autism. She was one of nine contestants in the "Special Talent America" competition, where people with disabilities showcased their skills.

Unfortunately, Kinnett didn't get the win at Monday's show. But her family says her performance pumped up the sold-out crowd. They hope to find Kinnett another competition to strive for, possibly "America's Got Talent."
