Special thanks go out to our judges and score keepers: Wayne and Kathy Agnew -- all the way from the California State Old Time Fiddlers Association , Brad and Shirley Adams from Grand Lake Festivals, Doug Scott and the Tulsa Public Schools Music Department. After the contest all the Judges,Trish Webster, and Rick Morton performed some old time tunes for the crowd.

We look forward to seeing all these folks back at the Festival again next year. -- Gary Stout
