Participants take the stage at one of Safford’s old-time fiddling contests.<br />
After a largely quiet year, the<br />
Agriculture Building at the<br />
Graham County Fairgrounds<br />
will once again ring with the sounds<br />
of fiddle and guitar as the Eastern Arizona<br />
Old Time Fiddlers Association<br />
brings back their annual contest, running<br />
from February 11-13.<br />
The Eastern Arizona Old Time Fiddlers<br />
Association held its first fiddle<br />
contest in Dragoon in 1979. It continued<br />
there for four years, then moved to<br />
Grandma’s Ballroom in Kansas Settlement<br />
for the next two years. The event<br />
has been held in Safford ever since,<br />
and has become one of the largest fiddle<br />
contests in Arizona.<br />
For more information on this year’s<br />
contest, contact the Graham County<br />
Chamber of Commerce at (928) 428-<br />
