All!<BR><BR>For those of you that got the chance to visit with us during Carv-
<BR>Fest '08 (Faribault, MN) we hope you had an enjoyable time! The
<BR>festival drew hundreds of carvers from all over the country and
<BR>people were keeping busy as ever. We appreciate the support you have
<BR>given us and look forward to next year's festival. We really missed
<BR>Joe Dillet, Tony Erickson and Bob Mau, regulars that were unable to
<BR>join us this year.<BR><BR>We had some unexpected fun ... Jack Frost
playing his "Bones" during <BR>the music jam (man can that guy play!)
and Lakota George sharing his <BR>Lakota style music and flute making
demos.<BR><BR>Over 33 mini-seminars went off without much of a hitch ...
the <BR>teachers were working hard and the students seamed to really
enjoy <BR>themselves. The raffle items were a big hit, including the
Marv <BR>Kaisersatt carving that was won by Don L. from
Rochester.<BR><BR>Thank you for making our 4th festival a success
...<BR><BR>Chris Whillock<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
