CARVING CONTEST
There will be a special fun carving contest this year. Each contestant will receive a blank. Contestants must provide their own carving tools. You will have a total of 3 hrs. to complete your piece, 1-1/2 hours on Saturday and 1-1/2 hours on Sunday. You will all be carving at the same location in front of the public. After the time limit on Sunday, the pieces will be judged. This is meant to be a fun event, so after the 1st, 2 nd, & 3 rd place ribbons are awarded. The names of all those who participate will be put into a hat and the first three names drawn will each receive $25.00. All pieces will become the property of Brukner Nature Carvers and sold through the Brukner Nature Center. Plan to participate and help make this a big event.
