Anyone attending the Topeka Kaw Valley Carving show this coming Saturday and Sunday, Nov 11 and 12th?
The little bride and I planned on going up early Sat morning.

Well, I'll be,,,,,,,,,,, Sounds like the Topeka Carving show isn't worth attending. I have to admit, I havn't for the last 10 years, so, i havn't a clue if it has improved or not..

Kenny S,
I thought about going but I also haven't heard anything about it. I was watching your thread for responses and of course found none. Oh well, I guess I'll rake leaves. I also have a neighbor like yours but I also have trees with lots of leaves. I would seperate his out but......

Bob, It use to be a good one but I haven't attended it in 10 years. I would hope it has gotten better and bigger.

I think the is what my neighbor to the north was doing today, seperating his and mine, LOL.

I went to the Show in Ok. City two weeks ago, 3 hours each way. I enjoyed it and it was a good show. I think the only complaint I had was I couldn't understand the announcer in the speaker system. Just didn't want to drive another long distance so soon without knowing something about what was going to be there. It is going to be in the Holidome so I assume it won't be a very big show, of course that doesn't mean the talent of carvers won't represented.

Didn't make it to the OKCity one. Wanted to but had other plans which turned sour.
The last one I attended in Topeka was on old highway 75 now Topeka Avenue and I believe it was the Convention Center.May just go ahead and go up Saturday and if not a big one visit my Aunt and Uncle which lives close to the Holidome.
