Free Entertainment at Snider’s Camp –

Friday & Saturday evenings over Labor Day Weekend

 

 

The Jana Jae Fiddle Camp and Music Festival brings musicians and entertainment to the Grand Lake area over Labor Day weekend. All events at Snider’s Camp, located just south of Grove on the beautiful banks of Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees, are free to the public, with great food and entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. Food is served starting at 6:30 p.m., with delicious barbecue on Friday night and a fish fry on Saturday night. Food is $7 a plate; admission is free. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy good food, great entertainment and spectacular jamming!

 

The Amateur Fiddle Contest highlights the evening on Saturday and is always great fun for all. For those not enrolled in the Fiddle Camp, registration for this contest is $5 with cash awards going to the top three winners in six divisions.

 

Daytime fiddle workshops will be held at the Grove Civic Center on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants can enroll at the Civic Center at 9:00 a.m. Renowned fiddler/violinist Jana Jae is joined by 20 master fiddlers who demonstrate and teach various music styles including Celtic, old-time, bluegrass and contest. There will be other interesting and entertaining sessions as the participants learn to play in jams, put on a successful performance, compete in contests, handle stage fright, play harmony for twin or triple fiddles and much more. In addition to the fiddle workshops there will be simultaneous special workshops on Saturday at noon:  a mandolin workshop, a flatpicking guitar workshop, a Texas-style backup guitar workshop, and a fiddle harmonies workshop. All participants are featured in the Fiddle Camp finale on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. at the Civic Center. There is an enrollment fee for the workshops but the public is invited to the entertainment with free admission.

 

This Festival is made possible by volunteers of Grand Lake Festivals, Inc., many local and area sponsors, the area media, with the assistance of the Oklahoma Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts and is a special event as the work of learning becomes fun as the participants share their talents with each other and the spectators.
