December brings Sutton’s annual Christmas celebration the “Chain of Lights”. Last year as part of this event I did a whittling demo at Polly’s and sold off some excess carvings. I was well received so we decided to do it again this year.

This year’s demo (and sale) items were Santa Ornaments and Penguins (Project#s 34 & 36) as well the Yorkie Dog (Project# 11) and a Gnome that I realized I never talked about here.

As always the event was a lot of fun, the weather was decent (with the less pleasant parts holding off until later in the day). Got to talk to a lot of people of all ages and encourage some budding whittlers!!
