Woodworkers hope to carve out a home in NOTL for their annual show – Thorold Today
November 22, 2024
Members of the Niagara Woodcarvers Association and other carving clubs took over the NOTL Community Centre for two days for their annual show and competition
With the success of this year’s Wonders of Wood show and competition held earlier this month in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Niagara Woodcarvers Association hopes to return to the community centre on an annual basis.
The group of just under 50 members holds its regular meetings at Heartland Forest in Niagara Falls, where it traditionally hosted its annual show. A reconfiguration of the building there, however, left them with insufficient space to accommodate the large number of exhibitors and vendors last year.
So for 2023, they took over one of the arenas in the Gale Centre in that city. But that show was in May after the ice was removed from that arena. With the 2024 show moving to November, they needed to find a new home again.
