And the Winner Is…
Results from Last Weekend’s Old-Time Fiddlers’ Convention at ASU
String music lovers filled ASU’s Plemmons Student Union last weekend to show off their skills in instrument competitions, to learn a thing or two from artists Riley Baugus and the Stuart Brothers and to enjoy fellowship and good conversation with fellow old-time enthusiasts.
Trevor McKenzie, chair of the Appalachian Heritage Council that organized the event, estimated that about 575 attended the 2nd annual Appalachian State Old-Time Fiddlers’ Convention.
“The Fiddlers’ Convention was a success with a large attendance only slightly less than last year,” McKenzie said.
Here are the results from the 2010 convention. All first-, second- and third-place winners received cash prizes. For more information about next year’s convention, click to www.fiddle.apps.appstate.edu.
