Big Yam Potatoes Gathering

Date: 5/17/2008

The Mississippi Fiddlers Association, an organization for those interested in fiddle music, will be hosting the First Annual Big Yam Potatoes Gathering on May 16-18, 2008 on the historic campus of Jefferson College in Washington, MS, just north of Natchez.  The gathering will feature a fiddle contest (with cash prizes) on Saturday May 17, 2008 and a dance that evening called by Rhonda Turner, featuring the music of Sound Wagon.  We'll have many great fiddlers performing on our outdoor stage all day on Saturday (check our schedule on our website or myspace page)  In addition to the scheduled events, there'll be jamming going on all around the 80-acre campus.  So bring your fiddles, banjos, guitars, mandolins, basses, jawbones, larynxes, or whatever other sound making device you prefer and come have some fun!  Primitive camping will be available (and is encouraged!) Friday and Saturday nights.  There will be NO ADMISSION FEE to attend this event! .
