[Woodcarver] Carv-Fest 2008

[Chris]

Hello All!

For those of you that got the chance to visit with us during Carv- 
Fest '08 (Faribault, MN) we hope you had an enjoyable time! The  
festival drew hundreds of carvers from all over the country and  
people were keeping busy as ever. We appreciate the support you have  
given us and look forward to next year's festival. We really missed  
Joe Dillet, Tony Erickson and Bob Mau, regulars that were unable to  
join us this year.

We had some unexpected fun ... Jack Frost playing his "Bones" during  
the music jam (man can that guy play!) and Lakota George sharing his  
Lakota style music and flute making demos.

Over 33 mini-seminars went off without much of a hitch ... the  
teachers were working hard and the students seamed to really enjoy  
themselves. The raffle items were a big hit, including the Marv  
Kaisersatt carving that was won by Don L. from Rochester.

Thank you for making our 4th festival a success ...

Chris Whillock
