Wayne Hendrickson – Featured Carver – Club member Wayne Hendrickson was selected to be the 2015 Featured Carver for the show. Wayne brought his collection of carvings to display on the featured carver table an demonstrated a wide variety of carving skills. Check out Wayne’s carvings!

Raffle carvings – We had 47 raffle items (carvings and other items) offered this year by our club members and the Zumbro Valley Woodturners. These items generate income so that we can offer free admission to our show. Check out the quality of these carvings and turnings and you’ll see why our visitors travel so far to our show each year to attend!

People’s choice carvings – The People’s Choice carving competition always brings some interesting carvings for display and creates a great deal of suspense until the results are announced. Carvings are returned to the owners at the end of the show. 1st place was awarded to Terry Brugger for “Brown Trout, 2nd place went to LaVerne Schettl for “Nativity set” and Norm Busta earned 3rd place for “Pair of Bullheads”. Look for photos of these carvings to be on next year’s show advertising.

Candid photos from the show – Our club “paparazzi” – Wayne Hendrickson – was busy again this year taking photos of people and experiences at the show. It is always good to see all the people you might have missed during the weekend. Thanks Wayne!
