[Woodcarver] Information on the 2010 International Woodcarvers Congress

[Larry Yudis]

Hello Woodcarving Friends!

 

After a 43 year run in the Quad City area (Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa),
the International Woodcarvers Congress, sponsored by the Affiliated Wood
Carvers, Ltd. (AWC), is moving north to Maquoketa, Ia.  It is a small
community about 42 miles directly north of the Quad Cities on Hwy 61.  They
are very friendly and helpful folks who are eager to have the Congress be a
part of their community.  The show and seminars will be held in Pearson Hall
on the Jackson County Fairgrounds, 1212 E. Quarry Street.  More information
about Maquoketa and the Congress' move will be available shortly on our
website (www.awcltd.org <http://www.awcltd.org/> ) and in future
newsletters, which go out to AWC members.

 

Another big change for the Congress is the dates the show will be held.

>From 2010 on, we will be holding the Congress a week earlier than we have in

the past.  Here is a rundown of the festivities and dates:

 

June 12 - 13: Accepting carry-in carvings for competition.

June 14 - 15: Closed judging of competition pieces.

June 14 - 18: Various 1, 2, 3 and 5 Day seminars being held.

June 17 - 20: Show will be open to the public (Charge at the door).

June 19 - 20: Judges Critique Sessions.

June 19: Annual Awards Banquet.

June 20: Annual AWC Membership Meeting.

June 20: Release of competition pieces at 4:00 PM.

 

If you would like to be a part of this historical move for the Congress, you
can become a member of AWC for $15.00 a year ($20US for foreign members).
Just send a check or money order to the PO Box below, made out to AWC Ltd.
You don't have to be a member to come see the show, but you do have to be a
member of AWC to take any of the seminars offered.  If you have any
questions about the Congress or AWC, please feel free to give us a call or
drop us a line.
