Old Tyme Fiddle Competition

         





The 15th annual "Old Tyme Fiddlers Contest" took place on September 12th 2015 during the 25th annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Days in Pepin, Wisconsin. Over forty fiddlers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois competed in the contest including first and second place winners from the Minnesota State Fair and the first place Junior winner from the Iowa State fair.  This year's "Old Tyme Fiddlers Contest" consisted of three age categories, "Pee Wee" (ages 9 and under) "Junior (10-15 years) and "Adult" (16 and over) and a "Trick and Fancy" category. I (Abigail Inlow) of River Falls, Wisconsin placed first in the Adult division. I played "Roxanna Waltz" and "Say Old Man Can You Play The Fiddle". This year, my niece, Anna, competed in the Junior Division. She played beautifully, and we were all so proud of her! I accompanied her on the guitar.
