Reeds Gap Fall Festival

The Reeds Gap Fall Festival, Saturday Oct 8th, was a great success. We had a lot of interest in woodturning and our club. There was about 1200 people at the event. It was a lot of fun and we met a lot of good people.

Special thanks to Travis Gross, Brian Hummel and S. Bear for helping setup, turn, schmooze the crowd, tear down and clean up!

New club member is a great demonstrator. He drew a crowd for sure.

​First 4 class slots are reserved for women turners until February 1

Class applications must be submitted to Larry Lukens by email ldlukens@comcast.net . (Just tell him you wish to be in the class).  2020 membership and course fees must be paid to Larry Lukens to guarantee enrollment (no exceptions).  A class slot is filled when all fees have been received, so you may want to mail in your fees to Larry, instead of waiting to pay at the February club meeting.  Larry’s USPS address is: 119 Flint Ct, Bellefonte, 16823.

Class fees are not refundable, as we cannot fill a class slot if you withdraw from the class.

If you want to take the ADULT INTRODUTION TO WOODTURNING CLASS:

1. Members and non-members send your class application email to Larry Lukens with your name, phone, and email. Larry will fill class slots once he receives all the necessary fees.  If the class has not filled by February 1 we will open up the enrollment to non-members via a Rivet Facebook social media announcement.
2. Your slot in the class is guaranteed once your 2020 Nittany Valley Woodturners club dues and the class fee has been received by Larry Lukens, based on a first come-first accepted basis.  Mailing in fees will improve your chance of getting a slot in the class.
3. For non-members who apply after February 1, CLASS FEE FOR THESE SLOTS MUST BE PAID BEFORE CLASS BEGINS—NO EXCEPTIONS.
