THANKS!

The Ultimate Woodcrafting Festival opened its I gates on Friday, August 21, 1998 to huge crowds and rave reviews. Over 4,000 woodcrafters attend-led from 26 states, Canada and Mexico (hello Primo!), and to all of you, we at Creative Woodworks & Crafts would like to extend a big thank you for making our tenth anniversary celebration I such a success!

I would like to especially thank the many who came ■ early, helped us get on our feet, and stayed through |to the very end. Joe Diveley and his daughter, Debbie, Russ and Lois Pidima, Scott Kochendorfer, ; Sheila Bergner, Roy King, Rick Hutcheson, Doxie and Les : Keller, Joe and Andi Herrmann, Joanne and Max Lockwcod. J Bob and Kathy Hlavacek, ivan and Mary Whillock, Bill and Collette Guimond. Dave Klimchuk, and Tom and Matt Checkur are just a few who helped us get our bearings the | day before by lugging, hanging, assembling and offering i much moral support when we needed it most.

To the Cohen family and the staff of All American Crafts, | our parent company, who worked tirelessly throughout the weekend even though they had their own deadlines to meet: to our amazing seminar teachers who taught lo standing room only classes for three hot days; to John and Joyce Nelson. Dirk and Karen Boelman, Robert Becker, Hans Derke. Ray Seymore, Barbara Peters, and again Scott and Roy for their advice and support from the get-go; and to the many too! and supply vendors and amazing craftspeople, without whom The Ultimate Woodcrafting Festival never would have gotten off the ground.

Finally, I would like to thank the people without whom there would never have even been a Festival: George Ahlers, Editor of Creative Woodworks & Crafts, and his wife, Wendy, who spent countless nights and weekends _i working on every last detail of the Festival; and Barbara Goodwin,j Financial Director of All American Crafts, who kept people fed. happy, and the entire event organized.

We also have a few new members to welcome to the Woodworks family—Kelly | Albertson, our Art Director, is the proud papa of Ryan James, born August 7. And we also have a new Editorial Assistant—Dana Rich. I'll be moving into the > ; position of Marketing Director! for All American Crafts, so

Again, thank you for your support, and we'll see you next year...
