Enjoy a weekend of fiddling and stepping in the town of Tavistock, Ontario.
Long known for our hospitality we extend to you a special invitation to join us again in Tavistock. Bring your family, friends, fiddles and shoes. Camping conveniently located on the grounds surrounding the arena. There is plenty of space (park-like setting) for the Fiddle Park right next to the new arena, with showers and change rooms accessible from the Fiddle Park.
The 26th annual Southwestern Ontario Fiddle and Stepdance Competition will be held on Friday and Saturday, July 3 and 4, 2009, at the Tavistock and District Recreation Centre, 1 Adam St. Tavistock.
We have some exciting changes for the 2009 contest! Due to the large amount of contestants in the 18 and under Fiddle Class in the past few years we were able to break that class into two classes: 13 to 15 Fiddle and 16 to 18 Fiddle. Also be sure to check the program order as it has been changed. As well to qualify as Junior Duet Fiddle the average age must be under 13. See General Rules #4.
The weekend will kick off with a variety show at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday at the pavilion hosted by our very own Larry Stacey.
Quehl's of Tavistock will continue to provide a buffet-style roast beef dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Once again we will have our ever-popular Gospel Breakakfast on Sunday morning at the pavillion.
