Mark, Frances and I will be there waiting to greet you, Tina, Mike and Janice. As you well know, the Dollywood Show is a fun time with a lot of good carvings and some of the friendliest wood carvers around. So, come on to Dollywood for a good woodcarving experience. See you there.

I'd like to go just to see Don Mertz

It'd be worth the price to get in. Unfortunately, my schedule will not allow it.

We would appreciate any reports though.

Mitchell:
For what it's worth I'll take a lot of pictures,and focus on Don Mertz's table,as it is awsome.I'll probably be bringing a couple of his carvings home for my collection.

i went down near the end of sept. the wife gets 2 free tickets from work. but we have to use them before oct. which cuts the show out for me. but i did make a trip out to see mac and the gang at smokey mountain wood carvers. it would be nice to see the pics from the dollywood show. so please bring them to the hickory show. can't wait to see you all there.
