Fiddlers
News Courier/Kim Rynders


Thousands in city to enjoy pickin,’ grinnin’

ASU Business Management student James Thompson of Huntsville was also manning a potter’s wheel.

“I’m taking a ceramics class as an elective,” he said.

However, James admitted that he enjoyed playing in the mud as a kid.

Food

All the foot tapping and craft shopping is bound to work up an appetite. Food vendors are there to make sure visitors don’t walk around hungry. Available fare includes pizza, kettle corn, catfish, barbecue, steak sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, funnel cakes, pork chop sandwiches and chicken-on-a-stick.

Today’s competitions begin at 8:30 a.m. Finals begin at 6 p.m. Competitions include: beginning fiddler (ages 11 through 15), senior fiddler, classic old-time fiddler, bluegrass band, junior fiddler, old-time band and buck dancing.

Partial results will be published in Sunday’s News Courier and a full list will be included Tuesday.
