Chad Hazelton and three of his children perform for diners at ReStore on Tuesday.

It's the first year of lessons for Jillian on fiddle, Tucker on guitar and Cash on dulcimer.

Dad Chad said it was good experience for his youngsters to perform in public, and the crowd clapped approval after each song.

Chad made the dulcimer and drum set himself. He and his wife, Jamie, home school their children, all six of them.

Next up for the Hazelton family is the county fair where they will show goats, rabbits, chickens and cows...a busy family. (Monty Siekerman)
