Fiddling Around

In Wagontown, PA, 

{Love that town name} 

I found something truly great 

and I love a good find. 

A Fiddlers' Picnic 

People have been fiddling here 

for 85 years! 

From the looks of things, 

they will have another 85 years yet to go 

as next-generation fiddlers abound. 

Each year in August, 

thousands gather in a park 

and fiddle or tap to their heart's content. 

There is a main stage 

with open time slots for performers 

to register the day of the picnic. 

But the best part is what is happening in the woods. 

Fiddlers gather in small groups and jam together. 

There does not seem to be pre-arranged grouping 

as fiddlers move from group to group 

throughout the day. 

If you fiddle, strum or pick 

get this event on your 2014 calendar. 

If not, all you need to do, 

is bring a lawn chair and enjoy the toe-tapping music. 

A wonderfully laid-back event
embracing the passing on of the improvisational style of music
from old to young.
