AUBURN — The Maine Wood Carver’s Association will hold its first show and competition since 2019 Saturday, Aug. 13
The event is open to the public and designed to showcase the skills of Maine wood carvers from all levels of experience. Anyone can enter woodcarvings into the show, which will 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, determined by popular vote. In addition to the prizes, ribbons are also awarded within a broad range of categories for first, second and third places and honorable mention.
This year, the Maine Wood Carvers Association is partnering with the Woman’s Literary Union to hold the show in the historic Foss Mansion at 19 Elm St. The many hand-carved features of the woodwork within the mansion will create a unique backdrop for the woodcarvings on display.
Doors will open to the public at 9 a.m., and the show will close at 2:30 p.m. There is no set admission fee to attend the show, but donations will be accepted at the door.
