(Published Sep 6, 2009)
An 'Ole Time Fiddlin’ Convention’ will be held September 19th on the outdoor stage at Hagood Mill from 11:00 until 4:00. This is a southern tradition of our area that goes back to the early 1900’s, when contests were held at Tillman Hall on the Clemson campus.
Prize money will be given in the following categories: string band, fiddle, junior fiddle, banjo, guitar.and “open” (mandolin, dulcimer, harmonica, folk song, etc) A special category will highlight young fiddlers.
Contest entry is free, but contestants must register for all competitions by one hour before contest time. A complete set of competition rules are available on request. Plan on coming out for the whole show! Bring a lawn chair and enjoy a day of rip-roaring, foot-stomping music by some of the region’s best old time musicians! One and all are also invited to join in the jams around the site.
