Dear Fiddlers,

It’s been a fantastic time filled with music and camaraderie, and we’ve got plenty to share from our recent events!

At our recent gatherings, we were thrilled to see some familiar faces returning to our midst. We eagerly anticipate the possibility of Jack and Judy Koetje joining us again, alongside Sarah Buntin. Their presence has been sorely missed, and we sincerely hope for their swift recovery.

Our performances at Mtn. Glen, M/V Sr. Ctr. Jam, and Country Meadows were met with warm reception. The lineup featured a mix of seasoned musicians and fresh talent, including Micki, Jim, Ben, Steve, Rich, Gary, Greg, Forrest, Dwight, Vern, Walt, Diana, Duane, Barry, Hilary, Graham, and David. Their music delighted audiences ranging from 24 to 45 attendees. A heartfelt thank you to all the musicians for enriching our events with their talent and dedication.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to remind everyone about the upcoming Fiddle Camp from July 29th to August 2nd at the Chelan County Expo Center in Cashmere. Registration opens on May 6th, and there are plenty of learning opportunities awaiting eager participants. Check out the class descriptions on the website and don’t hesitate to reach out for more information.
