SPECIAL PRESENTATION

On the 26th of March, Butch Elrod (Chainsaw carver) and Neil Wesche (Power tool carver) were invited by the 4-H Club in Othello WA to do a demonstration of our methods of carving. This was in conjunction with the local celebration of the Sandhill Crane Festival that weekend. The local high school was available for a lot of activities, including our presentation. We were very well received by the youths and their parents. They presented us with some very nice gifts for our participation. Reported by Neil Wesche.
