KELSEYVILLE >> A one-time date change pushed the November Fiddlers” Jam at Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum to Sunday.
Note this is only for the month of November. In December and going forward, the schedule will revert to the first Sunday of each month.
The event begins at the museum at 11 a.m. with the fiddlers playing in the barn from noon through 2 p.m.
Celebrating Americana music, attendees will be treated to “old timey” tunes and some sing-a-longs, according to Linda Drake.
“Come ready to clap your hands, tap your toes, and get up and dance. This free, family friendly event can be enjoyed by all, young and old alike,” Drake stated. Bring a lunch to eat on a picnic table. Buy tickets for the next table to be raffled off at the Nov. 16 Lake County Historical Society annual holiday dinner. Listen to the music with beverages and treats provided by the docents. Bring own wine and sip it in Ely Stage Stop wine glasses that are available for purchase. A little more than a year ago, stage stop volunteers began a partnership with the Northern California Old Time Fiddlers Association (also volunteers) and created the monthly Fiddlers” Jam. Attendees can make donations and the money collected is split between Ely, to help fund a blacksmith shop that volunteers will soon build, and the fiddlers association, which uses it to partially fund their scholarship programs.
Current Ely Stage Stop hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Fiddlers” Jams occur the first Sunday of every month (this month excepted).

The stage stop, operated by the Lake County Historical Society, is located at 9921 Soda Bay Road in Kelseyville.
