Default Canadian Wood Carving Championships?

Hi,
Anyone going for the Canadian Wood Carving Championships being held at Hamilton On from the 29-31 Jan 2010.

Am planning a visit on 30th Saturday, if I can figure out how to get there by public transport, or hitch a ride with someone from the forum who is also going for the show.

There are GO buses to Hamilton City from Toronto,and then I have to figure out how to get to the venue near the airport. Any ideas?

Hope to meet some of you out there.

Cheers Ron

Yep, heading down Saturday morning with a few friends. Its a good show. Excellent carving competition, lots of vendors and afterward you can check out the vintage aircraft. Its always good for a few hours on a cold winter's day.

I went down to the show Saturday morning. Saw some good prices on tools and machinery and the carving competition was wonderful. I had the bonus of being able to talk to one of the mechanics working on the Lancaster Bomber in the museum. Excellent day overall.
