We had a great show this year as did most who attended. According to the hosts attendance was close to 3000 the first day and while it was down on Sunday it was still pretty crowded in there. I managed to win a few ribbons and sell a few carvings but that little piece of wood I'm holding over there made the whole trip worthwhile.
Congratulations Lynn. It is a well deserved award. What you do for us wanna be carvers is greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks and congrats again.

I don't think that you had received the award yet when I met you on Saturday or I would have said something then.
ReplyDeleteSince you hadn't, and I didn't, congratulations now! You have earned it!

Congratulations on the award, it couldn't have gone to anybody more deserving. You haw positively impacted so many beginning carvers, you have no idea how rare it is for someone to so freely give of their time and knowledge as you and Judy do. You are both greatly appreciated. Congrats on all the ribbons and accolades for the carvings you exhibited, next year they are going to have to crown you King of Dayton.
