It took an extra day but Duncan Has Talent wound up its 2016 season Monday (July 25) with Hunter Cook emerging victorious in the cover song competition.

Madisen Haivorson took second place and Caity Day placed third.

It was a tough haul for everyone as 11 talented contestants turned out to take part in the popular event last week.
