The 2019 CWA Show was again held at the Scottish Rite Center on May 18 and 19..
Now that the show is over we can settle down and do some serious carving until show time next year. Thanks for all of the hard work by our show chairperson and her support committee. Thanks also to all who helped and supported the show in any way – the volunteers that moved things back and forth from storage, those who had display tables, the photographer, the demonstrators, those who entered items for judging, the greeters at the front door, and especially those who supported the country store by purchasing items that you just needed. Without all of you the show would not have been a success.
