Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers

The Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers Association (COTFA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the art of fiddling through social gatherings and fiddle contests throughout Colorado and the Front Range. The group is comprised of fiddlers young and old, families, music educators and friends of great music. Although its aim is to nurture the love of old-time music, the group itself is young. COTFA was formed in 2002 by past president Denice Carter and a dedicated group of volunteers. COTFA members also travel throughout Colorado helping communities from the mountains to the plains preserving the uniquely American art form of Old Time Fiddling by helping coordinate fiddle contests at local fairs and festivals.
