Many Grandparents came out to visit this little fiddle contest under the shades of the oak trees at the Benton County Fair Ground. Grandma Janet and Zeke came out to see Isaaiah and Gabriel's first round. Grandpa John and Grandma Shelly came out and stayed all day. Markie, Kevin and Jay love this contest because we usually get into the fair free, and the contest provides pastries in the morning. I think that old time music is growing on the boys and they are great sports. Isaaiah was unsure whether she was going to compete in the Championship division and compete against grownups and teenagers....We finally decided that the Pee Wee round would be the most fun for her....and she played fantastically.
Gabriel was excited to compete....Each time Gabriel went on stage there was some huge off stage distraction...One time there was loud screaming from the roller coaster, another time a huge fire engine fired up the giant diesel engines and slowly...slowly....slowly moved. Gabriel was solid as a rock...braving the temperatures, braving the stage, braving the unusual happenings...There was a new kid from Alaska ...a fine fiddler at the fair this year... and the great fiddler Willika...as well as fine fiddling friends Summer and Bryce Hansen and others in his division. Gabriel was so happy with his first place finish!
Isaaiah won her division as well...two blue ribbons!
But here is a slideshow that I made with Movie Maker...Pictures of Family and Friends..Mom and Zeke were there too...I'm sorry that I didn't get pictures with them to include here.
