Official Contest Disclaimer: The World Championship Old-Time Piano Playing Contest is not responsible for your having too much fun at its 38th Annual Edition. It is your choice alone how many days of ragtime, honky-tonk, and Tin Pan Alley tunes you can stand. Please consider the consequences of getting up close and personal with rooms full of delightful musical experts and too much smiling before attending.
For those who’ve been pining for five days of ragtime and toe-tapping standard tunes and songs from two turn-of-the-centuries ago, this is your dream-come-true. And, it’s all in a new hotel location with a restaurant, attached parking, lower room rates, modern elevators, an indoor pool, ample space for all our activities and a pleasant staff that’s being very helpful in what might be just the first year working with the Four Points by Sheraton. Since times are tough, the hotel will honor its $89 contest rate on Thursday, May 24, for those who come early and we’ve lowered our ticket prices to make your dollar go further, but we need your attendance more this year than ever so we can continue the nearly 40 years of music we’ve provided.
