Members of the Aurora Seniors Association Carvers recently attended the \u201cMagic in Wood\u201d 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.
\nOur member Terry Kelly placed second with his work \u201cRunaway Dog Sled\u201d in the novice level. Fred Ash placed second with his relief carving \u201cThe Blue Heron\u201d in the intermediate level.
\nThese carvings are on display in the lobby cabinet at the Seniors\u2019 Centre for you to take a look at.
\nThere was a show and tell section where carvers\u2019 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. <\/p>\n
