[Woodcarver] International 2005 Carver's Conference

[Merrilee Johnson]

Hi All!
   I finally got caught up with my on going 10 day compilation of emails!  I 
probably should have deleted them but I was afraid that I would miss 
something very important!  If I had I would not have known about the 
International Carvers Convention.  My question is: where is it being held 
this year and is there a site with information?  It is time to start looking 
into new things to see and do.  Thanks for your help!
Merrilee
