State Fair Winners

[Joe Malloy]

The State Fair of Virginia Fiddle Contest was quite a sight. The log
cabin porch in the Heritage Village was a pefect place for the
contest. We were
surrounded by a working blacksmith, traditional food vendors (venison,
ham, buffalo & cider), a civil war camp, Native American village and a
singing
RR line gang plus other venues....

Each day at 2pm the crowd would swell for the fiddlers. It was
amazing..... One minute there were a couple doz. people then there
would
be over 300.
