Holy Ghost’s Old-Time Fiddle Jam

The Old-Time Fiddle Jam at the Holy Ghost Cafe and Music Hall this weekend was a melodious potpourri of instruments that was enjoyed by all ages and performed by all ages. If the joyous melody of wind, reed and string instruments didn’t get audience members up and dancing, it certainly got feet tapping and hands clapping. Proceeds from the jam went to CNP Kidsport. Pictured above are Blair Amundsen (left) and Linnea Anderson performing at the fiddle jam.
