2024 Idaho State Fiddle & Picking Contest

Can you believe we had 88 participants this year - WOW!   We had over 20 cities represented in Idaho. Some of our out-of-state contestants  came from California, Nevada, Oregon and even Alaska. We moved the contest to Mountain Home High School and had a great event there.  Our Oldest Fiddler was Martin Fewkes and Hadley Walrath was our youngest at age 5.
