See the WoodCraft Site at http://stores.woodcraft.com/Toledo Maumee Bay Carvers at Apple Butter Festival, Grand Rapids, OH. Sun., Oct. 13, 2019 For the past eight consecutive years, the Maumee Bay Carvers have participated in the Grand Rapids, OH., Apple Butter Festival, held in October. Grand Rapids is an historic canal town situated on the banks of the Maumee River. Thousands of people attend this event annually. Our booth is located in front of the historic Town Hall. The event also includes pioneer crafts, a juried art show, a living history village, bluegrass and country music, and the sweet smell of apple butter that is cooked nearby. As part of our continuing outreach and mentoring program, we demonstrate decoy carving and painting techniques. And once again, we offered children the opportunity to paint some 300 silhouette heads of mallards, redhead ducks and of course, apples. Some made the apples into pumpkins. It has become a tradition for families to stop by our booth. Many of the parents said they can see how their kids' painting skills have progressed from year-to-year. And the children look forward to displaying their projects at home. We distributed fliers and answered questions about our Wednesday Carve-Alongs at WoodCraft in Toledo, Ohio, that are open to the public. We also will be promoting the upcoming 2020 Ohio Decoy Collectors and Carvers Show in Strongsville, Ohio. Most importantly, our painting activities provided children the opportunity to shut off their electronics and enjoy using their hands, minds and spirit in painting a duck head or apple. Club members Ted Fisher, Karen Higgins, Mark Langenderfer, Bob Lund, Garrett Secord, Steve Secord, and Donna Puccetti volunteered at the booth. |
