As it was quite a drive from River Falls, Wisconsin, we hit the road around 7:00am, and arrived in Mountain Iron around 11:30am. The competition started at 1:00pm, so we had just enough time to snap a few pictures and practice before the excitement began!

      The competition was composed of two rounds. During the first round, or elimination round, I performed Golden Fiddle Waltz and Say Old Man Can You Play The Fiddle.

The top five scores in the competition competed in the championship round. For the second and final round, I performed Lonesome Moonlight Waltz, Sally Goodin, and Cotton Patch Rag. I placed second in the competition. For more information on this see this link.....  http://www.riverfallsjournal.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/4100773-judgment-shes-fiddling-her-way-top






Another exciting aspect of the day was competing in the Twin Fiddling division with a friend. We performed Lovers' Waltz. We placed first in this division.
