The young fiddlers have worked to raise money for the trip, but, currently, they are $3,000 short.

The group departs next Tuesday and they will stay at the National 4H Center. They will perform twice on the 19th starting at 7:30 a.m., followed by a tour of the White House and the U-S Capitol. They will visit other Washington landmarks before returning to southwest Missouri.
