SHOWS & EVENTS
As a service to our members, we will attempt to provide a list of as many of the carving Shows and Events throughout the County as possible. Shows will be listed in order of the earliest dates. You will note most of the Shows listed are in the Pacific Northwest. This is simply because this area is the home base of the NFCG and we are most familiar with Shows and Events in this area. We hope our members in other parts of the Country will provide us with complete information on Shows in their area so that we can include them on our list. Naturally, we're primarily interested in Shows which feature a Fish Carving category, although it's not a requirement. If you have a Show or Event you would like to see on our list, please provide us with the information as far in advance of the Show date as possible. Please provide Show name, location, date(s), times and contact information, etc.
The NFCG strongly encourages you to support your local carving Shows & Events
