Not only did the Fiddlers march in the Roosevelt Park Day Parade they performed while marching in the parade and a hour long set afterwards in downtown Roosevelt Park. They sounded and look great! Fiddlers were even joined by a few Irish Dancers as well.
The Dunes were alive with the sound of Fiddle Music.
The Dunes also had many Super Hero Fiddlers
