| We are very pleased to announce that show attendees chose the table of Al Herwig of Sheboygan as the Peoples Choice. |
Attendees were greeted by a friendly member of our club and, after entering the
auditorium, were amazed by the wide array of carvings at the tables. Richard Young
demonstrated carving drapery folds on the human figure and
Herman Sporleder gave a painting demonstration.
The Wayne Gilbertson Memorial youth carve was well-received
and enjoyed by all those participating.
Paul Tetzlaff of Fond du Lac was our Featured Carver. Paul
started carving in 1986, although he carved duck decoys as a
child with his dad. He basically taught himself using books
and magazines. Paul carves mostly birds and decoys.
