This is the third fiddle fest I will attend. Having something like this in my back yard is wonderful. The talent that is shared at the fiddle fest is great. I just got back from Nashville and couldn't get enough of the fiddle music down there knowing I don't have to travel to hear great talent makes my day. Watching the young and old fiddlers is a wonderful way to spend a beautiful fall Sunday in Pennsylvania. I find inspiration here to pick up my fiddle and play. Great food, beautiful crafts, wonderful fiddle music -  Life IS Good! Thank you for keeping the fest going.

Yesterday, (Sept. 21st) my husband and I attended the Fiddle Fest as first time audience members for the 2008 season. Blue Grass is not our preferred genre of music, but we greatly appreciated the talents of the many performers who graced the stage that day. We were especially entertained by Dave Kline and his band. We would like to thank all the performers, supporters and volunteers who made this day possible. Also would like to give kudos to the Designer and Webmaster for the website. It is by far one of the best local websites I have ever visited. See you next year!

The jamming at this festival has no equal. Very interesting to walk around and listen to the musicians/singers. There is nothing like the sight of old cook pots on tripods with a fire underneath to roll back the years. Many thanks to all those who help put it together.

What a great festival. This is my first time at your festival. I live in central New Jersey, and particularly wanted to see the Martin Family Band, who are wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the fiddle
festival. The food was excellent, and the talent was first class, from start to finish. I found so much more than I expected, and will definitely be back next year. The Lyons Fiddle Festival is an undiscovered gem.

What a fantastic festival!
First, I want to thank all the many people who worked so hard to make this event happen. It's because of you that everyone enjoyed the day! Please keep doing it...your efforts are MUCH appreciated. A low cost, family-oriented event is a welcome change in today's world! Not to mention the OUTSTANDING talent festival organizers brought to the stage - thank you! On that note, I would not have wanted to have been a judge on that day. There was some serious talent among the contestants in the fiddle competition! What a wonderful experience to watch (and hear!) the many talented young musicians perform on stage...they are the future and it is great to know there are those who will carry the music forward.

I was very disappointed to learn you have NO top name Nashville acts booked for the 2009 event. I have scheduled my vacation to be able to attend. Now I will have to find another festival for my musical needs.
