Galaxy of Stars® was founded in Nebraska in 1993 to provide a platform for talent throughout the state to develop their talent in singing, dancing, instrumental, variety and songwriting and to inspire them to "Dream, Believe & Achieve." Vision Productions, the parent company, was founded in 1990 and incorporated in Nebraska in 2005. Wynne Productions was incorporated in Tennessee in 2008 to further provide a service for interested talent in Nebraska and aspiring talent in the Nashville area to further develop their talent. The Galaxy of Stars® has worked with various venues in Nebraska throughout the years, including county fairs and the state fair, to bring about an opportunity for talented artists to perform. Being a singer herself and knowing the enjoyment of it, she easily identifies with other aspiring artists and is always grateful for all who not only give of their time but have, throughout the years, made stages available for upcoming artists. Wynne regards her Galaxy of Stars® contestants as a family, enjoying the friendships that are formed and very much appreciates all those, including the contestants, whose efforts throughout the years give of their time and efforts to assist with the program and to help and encourage others.
