[Woodcarver] Evart Roundup Questions

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Ray,

I think Paul answered most of your questions. I'll be getting there Thursday
late afternoon. This year I'm planning on bringing my luggage. Last year I
remember all my seminar material but left my luggage packed and by the door
at home. Walmart had the few tee shirts and shaving stuff I needed.

The main theme of the Evart Roundup is a learning experience, for carvers to
willing share what they have learned. There is a bunch of seminars, all free
except for perhaps a slight charge for materials, where people learn just
about every aspect of woodcarving. I guessing but I think there's about 20
seminars going on all the time during the day. In the evenings is visiting
time, music time around the bon-fire and stuff like that. I'm planning to be
in my seminar area in the evenings for a visiting and round table
discussion.
