> Lancaster County, PA. The Lancaster County WoodCarvers have been  

> busy preparing for their annual event to show off the art of carvers  

> and wildlife artist. We have been busy improving our skills as  

> individuals and encouraging one another in their carvings.  We meet  

> monthly on the third Tuesday from 6 p.m. to about 9 p.m. at the  

> Brownstown Campus of the Lancaster County Career and Technology  

> Center.  We usually carve on our own projects or a mini-seminar on a  

> sample. Beginning at 6 and through the meeting that starts at 7.  

> There is a very popular “Bring and Brag” segment where we share some  

> of our recent carvings. Throughout the evening carvers are eager to  

> share hints and ask for ideas on how to overcome a difficulty in a  

> project.

>           One of our purposes as a club is promote wood carving and  

> individual’s skills at carving. The annual festival is our effort to  

> raise public awareness of the art of wood carving. The festivals  

> have about 70 exhibitors of woodcarving or wildlife art as well as  

> vendors of carving tools and supplies. To help promote carving and  

> encourage skill development we invite a nationally known  

> accomplished carver to exhibit their carvings and to hold mini- 

> seminars at the festival. Recently club leadership shared the good  

> news that we will have Bruce Henn of Troy, Ohio as our feature  

> carver this year. Bruce is a nationally known carver. Bruce was  

> honored in 2006 to be invited to be part of the Caricature Carvers  

> of America, an elite group of top caricature carvers. Bruce will  

> have a display of his carving and will be teaching and sharing some  

> carving tips during our festival. We are indeed very fortunate to be  

> able to share with the public such a fantastic artist.
