Thursday, February 26nd
thru Saturday, February 28th 8:30am to 4pm Demonstrations During the 2026 NYS Farm Show Daniel Parrish Witter Agricultural Museum New York State Fairgrounds |
Members of the club will gather in the Witter Agricultural Museum during the New York State Farm Show to demonstrate their craft. Unlike our demos during the Fair, we will have electrified equipment in the Museum - a couple of lathes, a couple of scrollsaws, the carvers with their tools, and our hand-craftsmen on the workbenches. This is a great time to visit the Museum. Entry to the Museum is free (there is a fee to attend the full farm show) and parking is nearby. Want to join? This is a perfect time to do so!

Boxes come in many different shapes, sizes, and designs. Since one of our community support projects is making boxes for donation, the Board thought a talk about boxes is warranted.

This session will be available as a hybrid session (both in-person and via Zoom) with the Zoom link sent out on the Monday before the meeting.
We will have Show & Tell after Jim's talk, so bring whatever you want to show. Come early to sign in your projects, chat with others, and have coffee & treats!
Don't have your projects as they were gifts or 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 March 4th to be included in the slide show.
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.
