The Desert Carving Show was held in Mesa, Arizona. It is one of the largest carving competitions in the Southwest. Seven members of our own PebbleCreek Woodcarvers Club received awards; Roger Borlaug for an Owl Kachina and an Owl mask; Jim Calder, a stylized feminine figure and runners. Al Collesano received two awards for his Pintail Ducks. Gerald Findley carved a Goshawk. Joel Hawkins captured three awards for his owl, Greenwing Teal and Bluegill. Chuck Lagerstrom won an award with a trout and an American Goldfinch. Jeannette McElroy received an award for her Haida mask.

You may see some of these carvings and many others on display at the Creative Arts Center.
