Seminar at Branson, MO. Who's going?

I am wondering who might be going to the Silver Dollar City - Ozark Mountain Woodcarvers Seminar in March and what classes they are attending (or instructing). It would be a good opportunity for some of us to get to know one another in person. There are usually about 400 carvers in 35 classes so to locate one another will require some advanced planning.

I will be attending Marlen Downing's class (as usual) and carving a full-size gyr falcon. We carve in the smaller of the two buildings (power carvers are isolated due to dust and noise). Although I live only 45 miles away, I will be staying at the Compton Ridge Campground in my RV. They usually show the campground as closed but keep some sights available during the winter. It's a bargain at $11/night for anyone RVing in the area.

Details of the seminar can be found at www.ozarkmtnwoodcarvers.com under the seminars heading. I am attaching 3 pics (2 of the main building and one of the power carver's barn).

I won't be attending any classes but I plan to get there one day - probably the final day - with Al Longo to annoy Dave Stetson and Michele Carville who will both be teaching.
I haven't heard from Teri Embrey for awhile (has anyone??) but last I heard, she was hoping to get to Longo's place too so she could hit Branson with us. I sure hope that works out.
And -- Dale Heinecke will be there selling wood !!!
