who competed in Randall gym.
Tiffany Wheeler won the
junior-junior division, and
Heather Bennett won the
junior division. Kathy Meads
took the intermediate level,
and Eddie Johnson fiddled his
way to a senior division honor.
The grand championship went
to Hollis Taylor.

out between 600 and 700
spectators,” said fiddle player
Helen Hakanson, wife of Col­
lege President John Hakanson.
