Woodcarving Show

Sarah and I went to my dad's annual woodcarving show. A lot of the folks that he has weekly wood carving meeting with show their work, have a contest and also teach beginners techniques. There are also woodcarvers from all over the United States and Canada that show their stuff and some vendors are usually there with supplies.

This year we saw Kathy and the girls there. They had fun painting the little wood shapes that Grandpa always brings for kids to paint. They let him set up right at the door and he asks any child that comes to the show if they would like to paint. He takes care of all the kids and they seem to look forward to it each year. He doesn't charge them anything, just paint and have fun. He is so sweet with the kids. He doesn't try to tell them how to paint their item.

Here are some photos of the girls with Grandpa AND Dad won the Best in Show Award this year!!
