Dear Friends of the Official Indiana State Picking & Fiddling Championships,

It’s time to mark your calendars for the 2009 Official Indiana State Picking & Fiddling Championships coming to the Gibson County Fairgrounds in Princeton, Indiana on September 4 and 5, 2009.

The 123rd Labor Day Association is proud to continue the rich tradition of wonderful old time and bluegrass musical entertainment this competition brings.

The Official Indiana State Picking & Fiddling Championships is a part of the Labor Day Celebration which runs from September 4 to September 7, 2009. There are even more exciting things for you and your entire family to do during your visit to Southern Indiana! Before, the championships, workshops will be held with our expert Judges/Clinicians. Other scheduled events that are part of the Labor Day Festival will include a car show, demolition derby, motocross, talent show, a queen contest, carnival rides, and one of the area’s largest parades. A complete list of Labor Day Celebration events can be found at www.labordayassoc.com.

I encourage you to make your reservations early as motel and camping spaces are limited. There are other events going on this weekend in Gibson County and all lodging / camping facilities will be full. Again I ask you to look over the listing for overnight lodging and act now.

Sincerely,

Vi Wickam, Director of Indiana State Picking and Fiddling Championships
