[Woodcarver] International 2005 Carver's Conference

[sally nye]

Hello Mark,

We attended the International 2004 Carver's Conference.  We were 
demonstrators in the Resource Center so didn't attend classes.  We feel 
it was an overwhelming success.  Everyone coming through had the same 
look on their faces...rather awestruck.  You know the mouth slightly 
open with a half grin.  Like seeing a lighted Christmas tree.  All of 
the comments we heard were positive, I mean VERY positive.

There were shuttle buses transporting people from the building where 
the classes were held to the Resource Center and vice versa.  Even the 
bus drivers came in to take a peek.  They heard stories and saw the 
excitement so came in to see for themselves what was going on.  They 
couldn't believe it either.

2004 was the first year for the Conference and you would expect 
something to go wrong, even if minor.  Not in this case.  I don't think 
there was a gliche with anything.  It was very well organized and 
thought out.

We are very sorry we have another engagement preventing us attending 
2005 Carver's Conference.  We know we're going to miss out on a grand 
event.

Just our 2-cents worth.

 Hello Guys:
 I'm seriously thinking about attending the International 2005 Carver's 
Conference in September.  This trip would be the first event of this 
nature I would be attending.  As I mentioned when I previously 
introduced myself, in Trinidad we do not have any wood carving 
associations.  I've never even seen a woodcarving magazine in a 
bookstore.
 
For those of you who would have attended the Conference before, I would 
appreciate if you can share your experience with me.  Are any of you 
attending this year.  This would be the first time traveling outside of 
my country and could really use the moral support.
 
Feel free to e-mail me directly.
