  Hi Carvers,

   

  We're sorry to tell you this news - my family and I have decided to cancel Carve-Fest 2006.  It was scheduled for Labor Day weekend in Faribault, MN.  

   

  As many of you know, we discovered that I have cancer again.  The type of cancer I have this time is quite aggressive, and it had spread.  The tumors have been removed, but there could still be lingering cancer cells.  For this reason I will be having two very aggressive kinds of chemo beginning soon.  This treatment will continue for six months.  I just won't be able to put much time and energy into planning and marketing Carve-Fest.  We don't want to have a festival that is only done half as well as it could be, so it is better to reschedule for another year.  After I have kicked this cancer out of my life completely, we will have a huge, well-done festival!!

   

  We hope that this doesn't inconvenience you! 

   

  Please feel free to send this message to anyone who may have been planning to attend - we appreciate your help in spreading the word.

   

  Have a great day!

   

  Marnie Whillock
