[Woodcarver] New Question from Chris Whillock

[Loren Woodard]

Chris:

My calls at Silver Dollar City always has either 13 or 14 people in it.
This year I had six.  There were several classes canceled due to the small
number of students.  A lot of the classes had numbers like mine.  However,
the classes I give close to home have a healthy number in tem.  I did a two
day bark carving class with 15 students about a month ago.  All of the
students were local. 

I think the economy has definitely affected the carving community.
