GOW News Release

The 2009 GOW (Gathering Of Woodcarvers) held September 28 through  
October 3, is putting together a booklet titled “TIPS THAT MADE ME A  
BETTER WOODCARVER”. We are asking for everyone to submit their  
favorite tips. The favorite tip, in each category, will be voted on  
during GOW 2009. Prizes for the favorite tip will be awarded (need not  
be present to win). This booklet will not be for sale. It will only be  
available to those attending the GOW. If your tip/tips were selected  
and you are not able to attend the GOW, we will mail a booklet to you  
along with your prize if you won in your category.

If your tip is selected for the GOW Tips Booklet, you will be given a  
few minutes to present it during GOW’s Opening Ceremony, or request  
the MC to present it for you. GOW attendees will vote for their  
favorite tip in each of seven categories. Prizes will be determined at  
a later date and awarded during the GOW.

The GOW Opening Ceremony is held at the Sandwich Fair Grounds  
(Sandwich Illinois), Monday September 28, 2009 at 6:30 PM. Check http://www.camperjohn.com/GOWmain.html
