Hi Bill,

Could you please post this to your List?

Thanks,

******************

I have been getting questions about the Whillock Woodcarving Festival,
especially about the classes and how to register for the classes.

The Whillock Woodcarving Festival (CARV-FEST '04) is at the Ice Arena, 
Rice
County Fairgrounds in Faribault MN.. The Whillocks have rented out this 
Ice
Arena with the intention of making this Woodcarving Festival an annual
event. This is the first of hopefully many successful Whillock 
Woodcarving
Festivals. This one is very special because it celebrated Ivan's 30 
years in
the woodcarving business.

Here is some information Marnie sent me about the classes and the 
Whillock
Woodcarving Festival

********** This is what Marnie sent me including the class schedule.
