Last week we spent the entire week at the GDS fair in Newfoundland Pa. This is our second year here, in the same spot, and as we set up, we noticed the spot across from us was empty. We had hoped that this meant that the previous year's entertainment was there again. On Wednesday morning Mark pulled in. We were glad to see him. Mark is a champion chainsaw carver. He is part of the Masters of the Chainsaw. The fair brings him in to entertain the crowd, then his pieces are all sold or auctioned. This money then goes back to the fair.
To watch him is unbelievable. Ed and I sit there at the beginning of each show, and try to guess what he is carving. He always draws a large crowd. There are people who find a seat an hour before he starts, and will sit there from start to finish.
In between shows, Mark comes over to hang out with us and we get to know him a little bit. We chit chat about our kids, our families, business and anything else we can think of to pass the time.
I wanted to blog about him today because I was editing my images from the fair. These are just fun shots that we take while we are sitting there. The detail in Mark's pieces are something you have to see in person. If you are ever in the Adorondacks in New York, look for his store. You will be amazed by what you see!
This one was my favorite!
