Guests are always welcome at no fee. Just sign-in at the front desk and mingle with others. We look forward to seeing everyone, hearing about your woodworking escapades, and seeing your recent projects. If you have Show & Tell that can't easily be transported, send photos and descriptions ahead of time so they can be added to our slide show. Send an email with photos and a short description to [email protected] by 3pm on June 7th to be included in the slide show.
