The 29th event, held Sunday, 16 September 2012.
An annual down home sort of event, well done with an assortment of musicians from near and far. There is a fiddling contest for three age groups - up to 12, 13 - 17, 18 and up. There is typically some good and reasonably priced food and one finds clusters of musicians pluckin' and sawin' all throughout a pleasant tree shaded park. In addition to strings from fiddle to bass, it's not unusual to find an accordion or two, and maybe a flute and bodhran playing some Celtic stuff.

In keeping with vintage music, these shots were taken mostly with Fuji Acros 100 on black and white film with a venerable Canon A-1 equipped with the FD 35-105 f/3.5 Macro lens.
