Barn Loft Reaches Lofty Height

The pressure was on Main House President Dad, with just having arrived home from Michigan, having work to do and knowing of the dulcimer competition in Ohio. Nathaniel Barn Loft was ready to compete.

As always, Dad got his work done, which allowed him to drive Barn Loft to Coshocton, OH for the 2010 Mid-Eastern Regional Mountain Dulcimer Championship. The big day arrived and Barn Loft wasn't nervous until the results were in. "Mine and Dad's hearts were beating hard," said Barn Loft. "They called out third place, then second place, so then I didn't know if I was in fourth or first." Barn Loft placed first. He was awarded the title: 2010 Mid-East Regional Mountain Dulcimer Champion, received a plaque, $150 and a ticket to compete in the national competition in Kansas this September.

Once again Dad will have a lot of work to do in September. Once again, he will more than likely take to the road with Barn Loft and his dulcimer.
