SANDPOINT — While most children are “forced” to participate in holiday traditions they don’t enjoy, many end up reminiscing about those childhood memories as they eventually have families of their own.

Bonner County Commissioner Luke Omodt experienced that phenomenon this year when he, again, picked up his fiddle and, alongside his daughter, blessed a local nursing home with Christmas carols.

“I started playing violin in 1981 as a part of the Fiddler's Hatchery and played in a family group called the Fiddlers Five,” Omodt said. “Every year, my parents and violin instructor would take us to play Christmas carols at the old folks home.”
