Then I moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas and that's when I really got into it.  The shows I've entered are all in Arkansas.  The North West Arkansas show is the one I go to every year.  I have taken "Best of Show" with a loon, "Peoples Choice" with doves (pictured right), and a few 1st Place awards in waterfowl.

I belong to the Bella Vista Woodcarvers and the North West Woodcarver clubs.  I was president of the Bella Vista club for 3 years.
