2005 “Quest for the Best” champion Courtney Jourdain amazed judges, audience members and fellow contestants with her powerful voice as she sang Aretha Franklin’s “Don’t Play That Song” on Monday night during the sold-out event at the Sorting Gap Marina. Tim Grover came in second, while Sarah Hebert placed third. Meanwhile, Katelyn Shortreed won the inaugural “Kiddie Quest,” with Ericka Tymkin and Bridget Jorgenson coming in second- and third-place respectively. —Duane Hicks photo
