AUBURN — The Maine Wood Carver’s Association is holding its Show and Competition on Saturday, Aug. 13, at Foss Mansion, 19 Elm St. It will be the first such event for the association since 2019.
The show is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no admission fee, but donations will be accepted.
This year, the Maine Wood Carvers Association is partnering with the Woman’s Literary Union to hold the show in historic Foss Mansion. The mansion’s hand-carved woodwork features will be a backdrop for the woodcarvings on display.
The Show and Competition is designed to showcase the skills of Maine wood carvers of all levels. Anyone can enter woodcarvings into the show, which will then be rated by a team of judges. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in the skill levels of Youth, Novice, Intermediate, Open, and Master Carver. Prizes will also be awarded for the Best in Show Winner and the People’s Choice Award, which is determined by popular vote. In addition to the prizes, ribbons are also awarded within a broad range of categories for first, second, third place and honorable mention.
