[Woodcarver] Evart Roundup

[Sandy Holder]

Hi Sally, David, Joe, Ol Don, Sandie, Chris and all,
We thank you all, and it was great that all of you were able to come to the 
Evart Roundup, always good to see everyone again. The carvers are great and 
love to learn from you. This is a great learning experience for carvers, and 
the GOW is another wonderful time for carvers. With all the Roundups and 
GOW's we offer lots of opportunities for learning. And we also learn from 
teaching.

Thank you all again for coming, we ended up with about 550 people again this 
year and 169 campers.

>It sure was great seeing you and Dave. Also Ol' Don and Sandie Roosa. There 

>were sure a lot of old friends and I made some new ones. I was very tied 

>after giving a seminar Thursday night, teaching all day Friday and 1/2 day 

>Saturday then driving 6 hours home. It was worth it. I plan to head back to 

>the Evart Roundup again next year.

>

>I was able to talk up Carving Magazine, and the Whillock Carv-Fest. I thing 

>a few might sign up for the Carving Cruise in October. I also think I got a 

>few more to come to the GOW the week of September 17th.

>

>These events along with the magazine do a lot of good in helping people get 

>started, as well as advance their skills, in woodcarving. Sandie Holder and 

>I were talking about how fulfilled these people are. Never once did we hear 

>mention of the prescriptions they were talking or complain of their pains. 

>Over 500 carvers and big smiles as far as the eye could see. They walked 

>around like big sponges absorbing it all in.

>   Another GREAT Roundup!!!  It was so-o-o good to see Joe and other 

>friends again.  We had only two days (instead of 4) and had to leave for 

>family gathering.  But the crowds were there and still coming in.  I'm 

>wondering what the final tally was???  The Osceola Fairgrounds are looking 

>absolutely wonderful with all the new improvements...walk-in showers, big 

>restrooms, banquet hall.

>

>

>   I still think a TV crew should do a documentary on how the small town of 

>Evart  holds these major events.  They really bring in the crowds.  The 

>next one is the dulcimer fest.  I hear they fill up 3 counties plus.  Folks 

>come to the Woodcarvers Roundup and stay for the Dulcimer Fest.

>

>

>   Hats off to Sandy Holder and the whole Roundup team.  Well done!
