[Woodcarver] Announcing the GOW Reunion

[Joe Dillett]

Wahoo! Big Dog will be attending the GOW Reunion.

Glad you and Miss Carol are coming. Ask her if she wants to go for a ride with me in your new truck? This time we won't have the trailer to slow us down.

We're counting on you to give Ol' Don a 'Roast'. Over they years you had to have accumulated some good stories involving Ol' Don.

  Wahoo!  Another fine Gathering Of Woodcarvers!  Way to go, lil' Joe!

   

  The dates hit right between the Congress and a seminar in North Dakota so I convinced Miss Carol to at least come out for a day.

   

  We're planning on coming Saturday, June 22nd.  We won't be bringing any supplies with us except for any pre-orders folks may want us to bring.

   

  I'd still like to have a corner in the air-conditioned shop to park my derriere; you know how easily I melt when it's hot out.  :o)

We are doing this with a 'Roast' on Saturday evening (June 22, 2013) as we sit around the bon-fire. We sure would love to have all of you there to honor Ol' Don, maybe say a few words to Roast him and just have fun. We have built great friendships in the woodcarving community through these Lists and our many shows, seminars and social gatherings. The GOW Reunion is a celebration of those friendships. Please come and join us.
