Grand North American Old Time Fiddle Championship
The Grand North American Old Time Fiddle Championship is held on the weekend prior to the summer Camp Calvin. In 2022, it moved with much success to the Dow Centennial Centre in Fort Saskatchewan on July 15-17, 2022. Plans are getting in place to return to Fort Saskatchewan on July 14 - 16, 2023. Fort Saskatchewan is only a 1.5 hr drive to St. Paul.
The 2021 contest was held virtually on Facebook on the weekend of July 17 & 18 prior to the start of Camp Calvin. Catch the 2-day contest on the Facebook group 37th annual Grand North American Old Time Fiddling Championship.
This was also held virtually in July 2020 and you can view the competition by going to the Facebook group.
Jam Tunes
At Camp Calvin 2015, a list of jam tunes typically played at Camp Calvin was compiled in a 'Jam Tunes' workshop.
In anticipation of every Camp Calvin where many of these tunes get played, we have posted the compiled list here for your convenience. We invite you to go through the list and check to see how many tunes you know?
