Mark your calendars for the Second Annual Bluegrass Shack Junior Fiddle Contest. We will be hosting the contest right here at The Bluegrass Shack on Sunday, July 22, 2007. This is an indoor venue with air conditioning, so it is rain or shine! Registration starts at 1:00 p.m., and the contest starts at 1:30 p.m. There will be three age divisions: 12 & Under; 13-15 Years Old; and 16-18 Years Old. We have flyers at the Shack, or click here for a .tif image of the flyer. All contestants receive a medal regardless of placement. There are so many talented young fiddlers out here. We hope you'll come to hear and encourage them. They are the future of old time fiddle music!
Since this particular weekend (July 21 & 22) is the time of the New Athens Homecoming, we are officially inviting you to come be a part of our town's fun! There will be all kinds of events in the park, and on Sunday you are invited to join us for the parade. We are asking all banjo players who are intested in playing Duelin' Banjos on a float in the parade to contact me (Chris) via e-mail (bluegrassshack@aol.com) or phone (618-475-3678). The parade is on Sunday after the fiddle contest. Lineup is at 4:30 p.m., and the parade starts at 5:00 p.m. The Chris Talley Trio will be leading the song (with a portable PA system), and all participating banjo players will be seated on a flatbed trailer to play along. The parade starts almost right here at our shop, so how convenient can it get? If you don't play a banjo, or if you don't want to play on the float, come show your support and cheer us all on!
