Capital Woodcarvers Association

Shortly after it was decided to hold a State Fair in 2022, we were contacted to see if we wanted to demonstrate at the fair as we had in past years. We agreed to do so. Ed Santarosa served as the coordinator between the State Fair and the club. Andy Hiroshima, Joe You, Brad Dano, Leroy Stebner and Jim Veatch agreed to help with the demonstrations. Carol Santarosa was recruited to help with set up of the demonstration display and to man the booth as necessary. Demonstration days were Monday, July 25 and Tuesday, July 26 in Building 3, the California Crafts/Student Showcase building. We were assigned the demonstration area just inside the entry doors to the building so that anyone entering the building had to pass by our demonstration booth. As a result, we had many visitors to our booth, many questions about woodcarving in general and many questions about how to carve wood. We invited anyone interested in learning to carve to attend our meetings at Woodcraft. We distributed trifold brochures and quarter cards that had been updated by Alison Cook and formatted and printed by Judith Steinle. Photos for the documents were by Terry Hajek. Here are some photos from the fair. Thanks to all who volunteered to help! (reprinted from Sacramento Shavins’, CWA Newsletter, August, 2022
