This is a fun event where you can tour the barn, meet the horses, vote on the best decorated stall and have your picture taken with the horse of your choice. It’s a great way to experience the joy that VTRA brings to so many.
Come and support this great cause and hear our Victoria Fiddle Society musicians playing Christmas tunes and more! The VFS will be playing from 10:00-noon & The Red Tent Jam from 2-4pm

Group Fiddle Lessons with Olivia
Join me for adult intermediate-ish group fiddle ensemble lessons to learn lively Irish, Scottish, and Canadian (maybe even Breton and Scandinavian!) traditional tunes, tune sets, and arrangements in a fun and non-competitive atmosphere! Tunes will be taught primarily by ear (written music also supplied), and I’ll share tips for improving your tone and technique as well.
Lessons will be on Tuesday evenings, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM beginning Tuesday January 6th, 2026 and running for 8 sessions to start. $240. Location will be near Uptown (address provided upon registration). Email Olivia at oliviabarrettfiddle@gmail.com for additional information. www.oliviabarrettmusic.com
