The location of 2018 RGV Woodcarving Show and the Rally on the Rio have been moved to the Nomad Shrine, at 1044 W. Nolana Loop, in Pharr, TX. The show will be Jan. 12 -13, 2018. The Rally dates are Jan. 15 – 20, 2018.
Judges are Orlando Villareal and Rich Wetherbee.
We encourage members and non-members to enter carvings in the show. The success of the show is determined by the number of carvings entered.
The biggest reason to enter a carving is to get feedback on your work. The judges will explain to you what you can do to improve your carving, that is the best way to improve your skill level.
The Rally on the Rio has 22 instructors this year. We have some of the top instructors in the country coming to the Rally this year.
