The Erie County Fair was held in August and ran for over a week |
As in years past, the Western NY Woodturners held their charity fundraiser at the event |
All of the receipts were donated to the Make a Wish foundation |
The club set up shop on the porch with displays and demos |
|
|
|
|
|
The sales booths were well stocked with items and drew good traffic |
Over the duration of the event, many of our members volunteered to sell and turn |
Some of Lyle Foell's miniatures out for sale |
There was a wide assortment of turnings donated by the club's members |
