[Woodcarver] Thanks for a great Show

[Bob Lewandowski]

Joe - Congratulations on the great show. I thought that both it and the great 
cause was profound. Give me a bit of a heads up for next year and I will have 
something again for the auction. 


Glad that I could have contributed.

Wrap-Up Report on the Winter Wood Wonders Festival to benefit Disabled Veterans 
 
A BIG THANK YOU to all those who supported this wonderful event, the Winter Wood 
Wonders Festival held at Pheasant Run the weekend of February 26 & 27. It was a 
huge success. After expenses your total donations to your disabled veterans was 
$6,092.73. 

 
For the first show this was awesome. Sandy Jennings (founder and organizer of 
the show) and her committee Orlan Jennings, Shelly Weiser, Katherine Cilley and 
Sharon Bechtold did an awesome job to pull this show together in 3 months from 
the time of conception to show day. They couldn’t have done it without the help 
of all of you who donated your carvings, came to the show and bid on items in 
the silent auction.
 
Yesterday (April 6, 2011), we went to the Spinal Injury building at Edward Hines 
VA Hospital for the presentation. I’ve posted some photos in my Webshots under 
the album titled Winter Wood Wonders Festival.

One great thing that came out of our presentation is the possibility of trying 
to get woodworking and wood carving classes going for them. It would be great to 
have one or more booths with their work at future Winter Wood Wonders Festivals. 

 
Next years’ planning is under way. We are waiting for Pheasant Run to give us 
dates (January or February 2012). The price of the room has doubled but still is 
40% of what they normally charge. It will be tough to hit $6,092.73 but we feel 
we’ve got a good shot at it, with expanding to 100 tables and booths for next 
year. As soon as I get the dates I will let you all know so you can take 
advantage of our Early Registration Discount. I feel that the show is going to 
fill up so get your registration in early. Early registration, for the two day 
show, will be $35 for a table and $50 for a booth. 

 
Thanks again for all your support. You all are the GREATEST!!!!!!
