2nd place went to fiddlers Jordan & Michell, with Walter on piano. The big surprise was the new clogging team Rebecca put together from folks at the Chicago Barn Dance Company's regular dance. Only the fiddlers were judged, mostly on their ability to drive the dancers. The contest was held at the Old Town School of Folk Music's Chicago Folk & Roots Festival in Welles Park. This video was shot from the point of view of the emcee. For a view with better sound, try:

Loved the freestyle/rise-n-shine at tthe end. Gives each dancer a way to show what they can do.
