The Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Fest was held in Ocean City the weekend of April 24-26 2009. Mr. Bill Naylor and his wife stayed with us. Bill came all the way from Canada to enter his carvings in the competition. Since this was Bill's first time in this Competition, he was entered in the "Novice Class". Bill received "Honorable Mention" for his Baltimore Oriole carving, and a 2nd "Honorable Mention" in the "Novice Bench" Class for his "soaring Osprey". Very impressive showing!
If you have never attended this event, it is simply amazing to see the life that these carvers bring to these peices of wood. They are beautiful to see, and many carvings are available for sale. Next year will be the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition's 40th Year!
