People in Mountain Iron are gearing up for the annual Old Time Fiddle Championships.

The competition kicked off at the Merrit Elementary School there.

There was a free workshop where some beginners could learn some tunes, and a jam session featuring some of the competitors.

Sheila Wilcox, the Competition Organizer, said “A lot of them are traveling from quite some distance, from Canada, Wisconsin, who knows from where else, just getting together and jamming it jamming out.”

This is the 35 annual competitions.
