The Reeds Gap State Park Fall Festival demo on October 11th was an outstanding success. Approximately 50-75 people visited our booth every hour. Ken Vasko, Steven Tuttle, and Jim Hopkins were there representing the club, answering questions, and demonstrating our craft. People loved watching them turn tops, trees, mushrooms, and honey dippers and viewing our displays.
We gave out about 100 tops. There were no more tops left! Congrats to all those who made them. We touched a lot of future turners. In the last half hour, we had to turn more tops. Coloring was a hit.
Kylie Orndorf, from DCNR, thanked us profusely and wants us back next year! They put on a nice event! The food was great and inexpensive as well.
Everybody loved watching Smokey learn to turn! He knows his timber!
