Pre-Register for The Ohio State Fiddling Contest Today!

Due to the incredible turn-out the past two years, we're requiring pre-registration for the Ohio State Fiddling Contest. We have four age groups (12 and under(full!), 13-18(full!), 19-54, and 55+), with ten spots to fill for each. Go to the "Register Online" page to secure your spot! We had to turn a few contestants away in 2007, and we want to ensure that doesn't happen in 2008! We may allow a few 'day of' entries, based on the number of pre-registered fiddlers, but why take the chance, register today!!
