The Catatonk Valley Wood Carvers are set to showcase their talents. The 33rd Annual Woodcarving Show will be held at the Candor Fire Hall on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and during Candor’s Fall Festival of Events. Admission to this show is free, and includes several daily demonstrations by the woodcarvers.
This year’s main raffle (pictured) is a hand carved set of circus figures, carved by many of the members of the Catatonk Valley Woodcarving Club. It comes with a circus tent, and many figures that all fit into the accompanying circus wagon for easy storage. This year’s special raffle is sure to be a big hit with kids and grandkids alike. Raffle tickets can be purchased in advance of the show from a member of the club, or purchased at the show. Tickets are $1 each, or eight for $5.
As well as a 50/50 drawing, there will be other smaller raffle items to bid on as the woodcarvers showcase their talents; several of which have participated in several world competitions with carvers represented from around the globe. Many of the woodcarvers have competed in state and national competitions. A few carvers have even brought home ribbons from world competitions. Club members are encouraged to enter competitions as well as display their projects at woodcarving shows…
