In 1994, Bill Miller took a small crew of fiddlers in his handmade, wooden canoes down a section of the Tobique River from his family's historic shop in Nictau, New Brunswick. So delighted were he and the fiddlers at the harmonious combination of river, fiddle, and canoe that the group decided to meet again the next year. Dubbed em Fiddles on the Tobique /em , the low key event grew in numbers, peaking in years where canoe's would number in the thousands and dozens of fiddle's would echo through the valley for a celebration of music and joy. After 25 years and as many events, Bill Miller beams at the mention of his days when his small hamlet of ten people would swell into the thousands and his log cabin over flowed with laughter and music. When asked, year after year, Miller would insist "This was the best Fiddles on the Tobique ever."
