Community Events |
Our club is fortunate enough to have built up a good reputation over the years with a number of people and organizations throughout the County. As a result, we find that we are invited to participate in a variety of community events in order to showcase our hobby.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR - DESIGN IN WOOD EXHIBITION
Every year, our club partners with another local scrollsaw club (The San Diego Seaside Scrollers - click HERE) to showcase our hobby in the “Design In Wood” Exhibition at the San Diego County Fair. The exhibition is put on by the Fine Workworkers Association. Folks from around the country see this as a premier woodworking event, and we are always amazed at the incredibly beautiful furniture and artwork that men and women make with their own hands and bring to the Fair for all of us to enjoy.
When club members are “working” at the Fair, trust us when we say it is by far some of the most pleasant “work” we have ever had the pleasure to perform. Not only do we get to use different models of scrollsaws to make projects there in the exhibit booth, but we also get to talk woodworking with all the visitors. The best thing, of course, is seeing the eyes of the kids (and some adults) pop wide open when you give them a freshly cut example of scrollsaw art!
The Fair is also an opportunity for club members to enter artwork into the judging competition. And if your project is judged to be a winner, you may very well find yourself receiving several hundred dollars in prize money (as well as winning some pretty big bragging rights)!
