My elbow did pretty good, even without a brace (too hot, didn't want anything extra on my arm, haha). 

There is a group of people there that meet under the same tree every year that are really helpful to beginners, and very welcoming, so I sat in with them a little bit Saturday and a few hours Sunday. I didn't know a lot of the tunes they played, but it was fun trying to work out the tunes, and I made a few recordings of them playing tunes I'd like to work out or learn their variation.

Saturday I ended up hanging out in a one room log cabin with the workers in there playing the fiddle and sharing sheet music and teaching other museum guests how to try playing the fiddle, that was all unplanned but a good way to stay out of the sun, haha.

Overall a fun event, people were camping down the road and making a whole weekend trip of it. Even with the horrible heat, there was a good turnout of musicians gathering under trees all over the place. And then of course the wine tasting is always fun  

Here are a few random pictures. Two with me were taken by one of the other people in the jam under the tree. The others are the 1800s log cabin I fiddled around in, a girl spinning yarn with her fiddle next to her, and bow in her lap; and then two of the group I hung out with.

Again, a fun event, and one I would recommend to people in the area  

PS. The purple bow I got from Fiddlershop is always a big hit here, haha.

@Mimi Aysha It is a beautiful area, it's a living history museum centered around one of the homes of one of the early settlers there, in the middle of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, so it is a beautiful setting to sit and play music. The man that settled on this land, Johnathan Hale, had been a fiddler, they said he liked to sit out on his front porch fiddling (the house is the one in the picture at the beginning of the video), and often had gatherings in his home with people playing music. So it's kind of neat to think it's just a way of carrying on his own tradition of playing music in this area.
