Evening activities
Monday at 6 PM with the Opening Ceremony. You will meet the other
carvers; hear the announcements and the introduction of instructors. This
will be followed by a talk by Mike Huber. The topic of his talk is â
€œHow to self-message your hands, arms and shoulders to prepare for
the week of carving ahead.� After the talk you will get a chance to
meet the instructors, see their seminar projects and sign up for classes
that still have openings. To insure a place in a seminar I recommend that
you register early.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings we have classes. This is the first year
that we scheduled classes in the evening. People working during the day
asked that we hold some evening classes. These classes are open to
everyone.
Wednesday evening, after the pot luck supper, there is a Blanket Trade.
The Blanket Trade is a fun tool swap where everyone is entertained
watching each other swap tools, supplies, junk, treasure and even money.
Bring some old stuff to trade for different old stuff.
Friday night is music and hot dog night. Bring an instrument and join in
the music and story telling.
What about food?
Even though we have lots of restaurants in the area we try to keep
everything convenient and inexpensive for you right on the fair grounds.
Lunches are able to be purchased on site, for a reasonable cost, thanks
to Brenda who brings her grill to the GOW every year. Monday evening
we have a social with soft drinks and snacks available at no charge.
Tuesday evening is the Chili Dump. Bring a can of chili or throw $5 per
person in the kitty. Wednesday evening is pot luck so bring a plate to
pass or throw $5 per person in the kitty. Thursday evening dinner is on
your own. Friday evening is a no-charge hot dog and chips. Coffee is
available until noon every day and maybe later if it is cool outside.
There’s more.
On Saturday September 20th there is a Carving Show right across the
street from GOW 2008. It is put on by the Fox Valley Carvers with Olâ
€™ Don Burgdorf as the Featured Artist. Please contact Gene
