Hour-long quick carves will be auctioned off on the spot on select days of the event.
Carvers will arrive at the park to pick logs and start their carvings at 10 am on Wednesday, July 15. Then, they’ll continue to work each day until 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Don’t forget! This is a competition. Bring the whole family out to see the completed wood carvings and vote for your favorite masterpiece.
