Going to the state fair banjo & fiddle contest is great fun! You get to prepare for the event, then hang out in the shade warming up, listening to others, and meeting lots of great people who are there because they also like to play fiddle and banjo.
This year C4A director, Robin Kearton, won first place in the open division fiddle contest and a C4A violin student placed 3rd in the youth fiddle division.
