Hampstead, NH, -- 6 January 2006 ­  The Hampstead Cable Advisory Board has announced that Meetinghouse Park will again be hosting a Summer Music Series during the summer of 2006, kicking off with the 1st Annual Meetinghouse Park Fiddle Championships and Jam-bouree on Sunday, June 4th, 2006 starting at 12 noon, and running to about 7PM.

 The Fiddle Contest is expected to feature fiddlers from around the area, and has 5 divisions for competition – Junior-Juniors, Juniors, Seniors, Adults, and the Masters. The day will also feature performances by the Cowtippers, who played the inaugural concert for the Meetinghouse Park 2005 Summer Music Series last June.  The event is also intended as a Jam-bouree, with musicians playing acoustic instruments invited to jam in several areas around the park.

 Sponsors and judges for the event are being sought. Sponsors are asked to fund one or more of the divisions, with sponsorship packages ranging from $85 to $500. In return, the sponsor is acknowledged from the stage, can make the awards presentation to the winners of the divisions they sponsor, and display reasonably sized placards on stage during the division.

 More information on this, as well as other shows planned for this summer can be obtained from the Meetinghouse Park web site at www.meetinghousepark.org. Attendees are asked to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating. As with all concerts in this series, admission is free.
