Hickory Show 2011

[groozier]

I've been meaning to ask about this show for awhile and keep forgetting.How did the judging go for the people on the forum?Was it a good show this year,etc.?Did anyone take any pictures of the carvings?

Does this mean that no one on the forum went to or heard about the outcome of the show?

I was there but on Friday morning before most of the carvings arrived.

I went but didn't take a camera. I entered 11 pieces and took home 9 ribbons, 4 first, 3 seconds, 1 third and 1 honorable mention. This was my first time at the Hickory show, I understand it was down somewhat. Mitch was there, I have been surprised and dismayed about no mention of the show on this board.

Thanks for the replies.I was beginning to think that they cancelled the show because of a lack of talk about the show.

Lance,
I was there but did not take any pictures. There weren't as many there from the message board as has been in the past. It was a good show for me. I had a booth and sold a good many carvings.
