Western Open Fiddle
Championships
Some of the finest fiddlers
of all ages and backgrounds
gather at the Western Open
Fiddle Championships at the
Tehama District Fairground
in mid-October.
The fiddles have been
gathering in Red Bluff for
more than a quarter century
and the competition is
fierce, but friendly.
After watching the fid-
dling competition, there's a
country dance. And some
of the best fiddling can be
caught late in the evening
as fiddlers jam with each
other around their camp-
sites at the Fairground.
Winners from Red Bluff go
on to compete at the nation-
al contest in Weiser, Idaho.
The fun starts days
before the competition, as
fiddlers spontaneously meet
at sponsoring businesses
all over town to show off
their musical talent.
