Let me just start with the headwaters fiddle contest! It was Saturday October 16 in Three Forks, Montana at the headwaters livestock. It was so much fun. All of my fiddle friends from Montana where there. It started in the morning and went all day. The judges were Wyatt Maw and Kerri Keller. For my first round I played Bittercreek, Rockabye Moon, and Hotfoot. My second round I played Sally Johnson, Roxanne's Waltz, and Flapjack Rag. Finally for my third round I played Chinqua Pin, Bridget's Waltz, and Red Apple Rag. I also Played in the Novelty and I played Midnight on the water, its a cool crosstuned song that sounds like bagpipes. For all my rounds my guitar players were Ray Padilla and Britt Smith. We had breaks inbetween and for dinner we ate at the cafe that was at the livestock place and O.M.G!!!! it was sooooooo goooooood! It was the best cheesburger that I have EVER had! I got second place. My friend Hannah King got first. And also John Schlender who got third. I won a T-shirt with the headwaters fiddle contest logo on it and $50. The guy who puts on the fiddle contest wants me to come back next year and judge it! I am so thankful for fiddle contest! not only are they so much fun, but you always meet new people and make lifelong friends and you get to share and improve your talents with others.
