My dream goal is to visit Ocean City when the Worlds competition brings out not just fantastic carving; but, such innovative designs. I am sure you enjoyed it and thanks for the photos.

Thanks for showing us the photos, Bill! I was surprised at the stylized ones - I thought everything at Ward World was realistic... Guess I need to make a trip over there next year.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures of the Ward, I have looked through them several times already. They take a bunch of time to put on I know, so thanks for your time and effort.
One question, in your 3rd message of pictures. The one on the left of a dark colored base and 4 or 5 lighter colored birds, all natural finish. Do you happen to remember who did that one? It almost looks like it could be a Chris White piece. Either that or a student of his, as it is completely his style. Just love his work.

Again thanks for the pix...

Gene

I think they are for the most part Claude but they also have interpretive sculpture competition and other media like stone or bronze.

Hey Gene, I checked my original picture to see if the name tag showed but it didn't, sorry, maybe Mike will have it in his.
