Fiddle Fun: FIDDLE OFF Recap

Deep in the heart of wild, wild, Westport…

…cowboy boot wearing men and plaid-clad ladies danced, cheered, and sang along to the musical battle between the Foley Mountain Playboys, Turpin’s Trail, and Al Duquette & The Wild West. The three fiddle bands even riled up the WAC council members enough to perform a line dance! In the end, it came down to fiddler vs. fiddler in a head-to-head battle of the bow. The town wasn’t big enough for the three bands and Turpin’s Trail won the honours and took home the glory. Thanks to all who came out to support WAC and enjoy the live music!
