The rain-soaked ending of the 44th annual Smithville Fiddler’s Jamboree and Crafts Festival saw Tyler Andal of White House take the Grand Champion Fiddler award Saturday night. Andal, winner of the Junior Fiddle contest, faced Senior Fiddle winner Gail Johnson of Lavergne and won the Berry C. Williams Memorial Award Saturday night in a Fiddle-Off between the best Junior and Senior Fiddler. The final contest of the event was held under the "porch" of the onstage farmhouse in a heavy downpour.
