BOISE, ID. (March 3, 2008) – Open Space Advertising is delighted to announce that it has been selected as the advertising agency for the National Old Time Fiddlers' Festival and Contest (www.fiddlecontest.com/), the oldest and largest fiddle competition in the country, held in Weiser Idaho.

In 1953, the city of Weiser began sponsoring an annual contest, inviting some of the best fiddlers from around the world. The present National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest was inaugurated in 1963. This week of intense competition and endless jamming brings together young and old for the purpose of perpetuating fiddling around the world.

For one week each summer, this local community, a town of 5,200 people, bands together to throw a good old-fashioned party. More than 1,100 citizens volunteer each year, and the population of Weiser more than doubles.

Once you've been to the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest, you'll see why Weiser has been recognized as the "Fiddling Capital Of The World."  It's truly one of the most famous and colorful cultural events in Idaho history.

The contest and festival runs from June 16 to 21, 2008. For details and ticket information, contact www.fiddlecontest.com.
