Last weekend, the Coastal Bend Woodcarvers held their first show. It was a resounding success!Carvers from Rockport 35 RV Park were well represented and well supported by their friends and neighbors from the park.
Gordon received a blue ribbon for his relief carving, shown at the right. J.W. received a red and a yellow ribbon on two of his projects. And John's elephant (photo at top) received a blue ribbon.
Judging was on a points system. Judging at this show was extremely tight, according to experienced exhibitors. Great projects which have garnered high scores at other shows scored significantly lower at this show. This makes those who received ribbons even more thrilled with the results, as they were harder to achieve.
Gordon and Janet helped with the arrangements for the show, as did J.W. and Anne. J.W. took photos of all entries which were awarded ribbons.Next Thursday at the Thursday evening Friendship Dinner and again at the Saturday morning breakfast there will be "show and tell." I suspect some, if not all, of the prize-winning entries will be displayed there.
