Default LeClair's coming to South Carolina

We are lucky enough to be able to have Pete (AKA Pepe) LeClair here again,a good friend of our,the Sullins has opened their house to Pete and 13 carvers for the past 4 years.If you haven't had a class with Pete its very enjoyable,here he's known as the energizer bunny,the man never sleeps.He would carve till midnight if we let him, and has.I'll post some pictures of the class and the project later this weekend.
