This was our first time attending the national flat picking championships. Being mountain, and hammered, dulcimer players we have met several champions at dulcimer festivals around the country. This year we were lucky enough to see the contests. It was an exciting few days, not to mention very hot and humid.
To our surprise we knew the top three mountain dulcimer winners from other festivals during the past few years. Deciding who to root for was not an easy task. Another surprise was that the 2010 hammered dulcimer winner was from northern Indiana. That doesn't happen often. He was from North Webster and is the second person to have won this contest three different years. I guess we picked the right year to attend. We came away with one conclusion, BOY we need to practice!
The following Smilebox has a few pictures of the contest, winners, and some music groups at the Walnut Valley Festival.
