The Confluence Lions Club is holding the 6th Annual National Road Chainsaw Carving Festival in Addison, PA on Thursday, Friday and Saturday June 18, 19 and 20, 2009 at the Addison National Road Community Park; the Park has pavilions, a bandstand and a hard gravel surface-walking track to locate the Carvers around.
Carvers will have ample space to carve, display and sell items. This is a free festival, no booth charge, no admission charge. We do ask each carver to carve and donate at least one item for the auction. You may donate up to five items to the Auction. All carvings placed in the Auction become the property of the Confluence Lions Club until sold. You will receive one half of the Auction price of these carvings. ECHO chainsaws and trophies will be awarded based on the selling price of the carvings placed in the Auction.
Each year the Confluence purchases one carving for permanent display in the Park. The Confluence Lions Club may choose one piece and will offer the carver $1000.00 for that carving. If accepted it will be put on permanent display in the park.
The Carving Auction will be on Saturday June 20 at 3:00 PM. Net proceeds from the Festival will go to the Somerset County Blind Center. Over the past five Festivals the Confluence Lions Club has donated $73,805.00 to the Somerset County Blind Center.
A limited number of Carver Sponsorships are available. You will receive $150.00 in cash if you are willing to donate a carving of equal value to a sponsor. You will receive the money when the carving is completed and approved by Don Winner.
Each carver will receive five tickets for up to $4.00 each for the Lions Food Trailer, tickets to the Banquet on Friday Night, a T-shirt, bar and mix oil and a gift. Your name will be on the T-Shirt if you register by June 1st. All the logs will be provided.
We will also have a Silent Auction and Food Venders.
You are welcome to arrive as early as Monday June 15, 2009.
