carving: East Carolina Wildlife Arts Festival

[Sully]

Not to be outdone by any our comrades in the western part of the state :wsmile: there is also a great carving event taking place in Lil' ol' Washington next weekend: :eusa_danc

The 14th annual East Carolina Wildlife Arts Festival will take place February 6-8, 2009 in Washington, NC. The carving competition is held on Saturday and Sunday. Although the carving competition is primarily wildfowl related (ducks, shorebirds, confidence birds, etc.) there are many other activities that are available. Vendors will be on site with all kinds of carving related goodies, there is artwork (painting, drawings, carvings) in the civic center, there is a buffet seafood dinner and auction, and other kinds of down home fun. There will also be some spectacular displays of fish carvings, taxidermy, song-bird carving, and other artistry.

If you never been, I would strongly recommend it. :icon_thum I'll be there in the Redmen's Lodge helping out with management of the carving competition.

Hope to see you there!

There will be other ww related stuff too. I was over at Steve Ainsworth's shop yesterday and he was working on some turnings for the show.

One last shameless bump to the top of the page to get the word out. It is a great event and it is a little bit warmer on this side of the state right now. :gar-Bi
