This is an informal get together for all carvers. You don't have to belong to a club or organization to attend.
Held at the Osceola County Fairgrounds, Evart MI  (the same place as the Wood Carvers Roundup and it is open to all
carvers or anyone interested in learning the ropes.  It is simply a weekend of carving and whittling  on whatever you like.
For those looking for workshops, some carvers bring blanks and projects for others to to.  There is lots of visiting and
just plain ole' 'R & R' meeting new friends and sharing information.  Carvers can enjoy this social carving weekend
just sittin' round carvin' and chattin' with fellow carvers.

The Cedar Bird Shoppe (Pinconning MI) will be here with their complete line of carving supplies.
Attendees are also welcome to bring any blanks they may have and sell them.

Breakfast and lunch will be available on the grounds.

Saturday evening we will  have a carvers potluck which is our only planned event. You may purchase chips
or goodies from the super market by the fairgrounds if you aren't prepared to bring something to contribute.
  A watermelon seed spit contest may be held and we may also have live wood carver music.

Sunday morning carving continues and then around noon we will have a hot dog roast over the campfire.
We would appreciate your help with "Pick-up-Chips" (clean-up)  and everyone is on their way home.

The Osceola Fairgrounds is open for camping all week at $17 per night.  You may come a couple days
early if you like.  Since so many carvers are also recreational musicians, bring along your non-electric instrument
and join us for a jam on Saturday evening.  You may come join us any time Friday or Saturday.
