Exhibitors are asked to bring their own table covering. The covering should cover the whole table and reach the floor in front.

We encourage you to carve, wood burn, chip carve, or demonstrate while you are at your display table. This will allow visitors to see what our art is all about. Many visitors have never seen this type of work done before.

If you indicated that you need electricity, you must bring your own extension cord (approximately 25 ft.), and you must cover the cords for safety reasons, such as with duct tape.

DONATIONS: We apprciate any carving donations for the silent acution, hourly raffels, or our country store. Please contact Joe You - and thank you very much.
