SENIOR SCAPE: Our Woodcarvers are TopsBy Charles Sequeira Members of the Aurora Seniors Association Carvers recently attended the “Magic in Wood” annual wood carving show and competition presented by the Ontario Woodcarvers Association. There were approximately 1,000 carvings vying for prizes and ribbons in 28 different categories. Our member Terry Kelly placed second with his work “Runaway Dog Sled” in the novice level. Fred Ash placed second with his relief carving “The Blue Heron” in the intermediate level. These carvings are on display in the lobby cabinet at the Seniors' Centre for you to take a look at. There was a show and tell section where carvers' work was on display for public viewing and questions were answered. The Carvers were represented by Barbara Brown, Terry Kelly, Marlene Ash and Fred Ash at the display.
