In the Open Division, fiddlers will play a hoedown, a waltz, and a tune of choice. There will also be other divisions of competition available for the adventurous fiddlers, including a Singing Fiddler's Contest, a Fee-Fe-Faux Fiddler's Contest (fiddle tunes played on any intrument other than a fiddle), and a Hocus-Pocus contest (cross-tuning, sound effects, dancing, etc.) which will give fiddlers an opportunity to play tunes that are usually not allowed in any other contest.
Contestants can pre-register online http://www.greenblattandseay.com/schoolhouse_fiddling_bee_preregistration.shtml
Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students, and $1 for children. Fiddlers and their back-ups are admitted for free. The contest will be followed by a light snack and an acoustic jam session.
