WOODCARVER’S SHOW and Sale – The Art of Wood

Exhibit Fees:

Tables (30” x 96” x 29” high) are $40 each; Electricity is $5.00 extra. We need to provide a NICE

table skirt for each table.

There is a possibility we could do a demonstration in the “Demo Area.” Exhibitors/Vendors are

allowed to do one-hour demos. We are treating this as a Promotion Only event to inform the public

about our Club. We will NOT be selling anything and NOT teaching anyone how to turn a pen.

So far, we have three volunteers to staff our display over the two days. We can always use

more!!! There will be many excellent carvers, wood burners, woodworkers, and wood turners exhibiting

and selling their creations. There have also been venders in the past selling tools and WOOD! Karen and

I stopped by the King Lumber tent at the Fulton County Fair, and that person said they would be at the

Woodcarvers Show! I encouraged him to bring some turning blank-sized wood…

I hope we can get a good group to take the drive to Archbold, spend a couple hours at our

display promoting Michigan-Ohio Woodturners, then enjoying the work on display. Sauder Village itself

is a fun place to see, too! Bring the family, and while you promote the Club for an hour or three, they

can roam the Village, then you can join them.
