I never got around to watching much of these videos when visiting on holidays and had forgotten about them, found them in a box recently.

> From 1999-2004 my father recorded many hours of video at the Galax Fiddlers Convention, mostly in the campgrounds. I am converting them to digitial from the old Sony Camcorder tapes. This first batch is from 1999. 2000-2004 coming soon.

I went there once, in the early 70s. All I remember is, it was very muddy (as in, muddier than Woodstock) and I bought a Clark Kessinger record.
