grace at weiser 2009

Grace had a great trip to the National Old Time Fiddle Contest in Weiser, Idaho in June 2009. She competes in the Junior division (ages 13-18). This year, the Junior division had 74 contestants. Grace placed 7th overall (she missed the top five by four points – there were 2 points between 6th and 7th place.) This is the best she has ever done. In the Certified contest, Grace and her friend Alina took Best Dressed honors.

The huge news is that Grace and Alina are the Grand Champions in the first ever Twin Fiddle competition. They also took 2nd Place in the audience response category. They played "Josephine's Waltz" and "Nicaraguan"
