Wilbur Foss and the "South Dakota Old Time Fiddlers"

October is Archives Month in South Dakota. Wilbur Foss and the “South Dakota Old Time Fiddlers” will play at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Pierre (123 N Highland) on Sunday, October 30 at 2:00.

A fourth generation fiddler, the 90-year-old Foss started playing the fiddle at age 55. He was a driving force behind the “SD Old Time Fiddlers” who hold an annual Old Time Fiddle Contest and Jamboree.

Foss donated a number of vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs to the South Dakota State Archives in 2006 and 2011. October is Archives Month in South Dakota and the event offers an opportunity to raise awareness about the value of archives and archivists.

Foss was recently inducted into the South Dakota Country Music Hall of Fame. Along with being a member of South Dakota Hall of Fame, South Dakota Fiddlers Hall of Fame, and the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame.
