This past weekend was the Fiddle & Banjo Contest held in Eureka, MO as part of Bluegrass America's (MABC) 30th Annual Winter Bluegrass Festival. Once again, there were a lot of new players and plenty of long-time friends as well! It was a great contest with a total of 24 contestants.
I want to thank Walter & Willa for their wonderful job as emcees of the contest, Zane for his help backing up the contestants, Carla who took care of the scorekeeping, and our three judges Ron, Dan & Chelsea. I also want to thank all of the people with MABC for putting on the contest and allowing me to manage it for the past 5 years or so (I've lost track!). Here are the results:
