Last week Tara Linhardt traveled west for the The National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest & Festival in Weiser, Idaho. This year she has shared a wealth of photos and videos.
There was also a hopping Swing Dance in the upstairs of the Museum with a fantastic line up of great musicians in attendance, both playing and dancing.
