Weekly Carving Session Time Changed!
Our
weekly carving session meeting time has been changed from our Wednesday
morning time period to Wednesday early afternoon, noon to 3:00 pm. This was
done in an effort to cooperate with Ken-Rock and to eliminate or minimize
the problem we have experienced with unexpected building availability.
Ken-Rock has found it unsustainable to continue to open and staff the
building in the mornings during the Winter, and even the Spring and Fall
periods, when they have no other reason than to open and man the building
for our club. The new Ken-Rock policy will be to open the building by noon
on weekdays. The “bad weather” or “snow day” closings will continue to
follow the Rockford Public School 205 closings.

Mid-Wisconsin Chippers Annual woodcarving
The Mid-Wisconsin Chippers Annual
woodcarving show is moving to the Oshkosh Convention Center in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin this coming spring. Our show date is Sunday May 5th, and our
table fees will go up soon on January 1st. The 2019 show is moving to a
great venue that is about a 3 hour drive from Rockford with plenty of
parking, a food concession, wood and tool vendors and we already have 33
tables registered.
A club table is only $25 ($30 after January 1st), and entitles six of your
club members to have one entry each in the competition for judging. A
regular single artist table is also only $25 ($30 after January 1st), but
entitles that artist to 4 entries for judging.
This year with our move to Oshkosh, we hope to see some BlackHawk carvers
here promoting their club and bringing their art to Oshkosh. Our Show theme
is "Everything you need to get started and grow in Woodcarving." We always
have many pyrographers too. Attached is our 2019 Table Registration form
and our form for Judging Rules and Show Guidelines as well as a summary of
show info.
In addition, our club is sponsoring five upcoming classes. are in our
December newsletter on our website with sign up forms and other information.
Betsy Popp will have a six day class on the Pygmy Owl (Feb. 28, March 1,2,
7,8, and 9). Lee Belanger will teach a cottonwood bark carving class on a
lighthouse (March 14, and 15). One of your own, Denny Neubauer, of Denny
Knife fame, will teach three classes: knife making on May 6th, Sharpening on
May 7th, and carving "Little people" on May 8th. Please spread the word to
your club and if anyone has any questions they should feel free to call me
or send me an e-mail.
Thanks,
Cedric Richeson, Secretary Mid-Wis. Chippers Woodcarving Club. e-mail:
