A Casa-Grande 8-year-old is one of the best fiddlers in the country.

Brie Dietrich won the Small Fry Division at the National Oldtime Fiddler's contest in Idaho.

Her mother says she's the first ever Arizonan to win this competition.

Brie picked up a violin at the age of three and a half and her mom says she also plays the banjo and the piano.

Brie's little sister, Aspen, won 4th in that competition.

Both girls are part of a bluegrass piano band called The Arizona Wildflowers with some of their siblings.
