2006 Fiddleheads Christmas Recital
A handful of Fiddleheads Violin School students ages 5 to 70+ played for an appreciative audience at their Christmas Recital at Salmon Arm's SAGA Gallery on December 16.
The event was hosted by Fiddleheads Violin School & Shop, which recently won the "People's Choice" award at the Salmon Arm Business Excellence Awards. (BC, Canada)
Fiddleheads instructor and owner Rhiannon Schmitt donated all proceeds (over $100) to the Salmon Arm Food Bank in addition to two large baskets of food items which were provided by herself, her students and the audience.
Schmitt encourages others to clear out their pantries to help this very essential community program.
