2008 Indy Woodworking Show Pictures Posted

2008 Indy Woodworking Show meeting pictures have been added to the website Image Galleries.

The Indianapolis Woodworking Show went very well! Our booth generated lots of interest (and crowds of on-lookers). There were interesting conversations and lots of excitement from young and old alike. Especially from the young ones getting finger tops from Duane Leach and Dick Gerard. We had excellent demos running all weekend long. Thanks again to all those that helped plan for the event, setup, staff the booth, tear down, etc. etc.

The February CICAAW meeting will be held at the Zionsville Boys and Girls Club on February 10 at 2PM.
