2023 TN Valley Fiddlers Convention

Hey folks, it’s that time of the year again in North Alabama! This weekend is the 56th annual Fiddlers Convention held on the grounds of Athens State University (Athens, AL). If you’re somewhat in the area, it’d be a fun event to attend - decent entertainment (sched attached), food, craft vendors, instruments for sale, workshops, competitions, & lotsa pickin and grinnin jams, so bring your instrument. We’ll be camping on the grounds today thru Sunday, maybe see ya there! :grin:

We’ve tried to go for 2 years now. Actually had plans this year and had reserved a spot at a campground. But now we’ve cancelled it because our dad’s heart surgery is this Friday. Maybe next year! :joy: Have fun! It sure does look like a fun place.
