30th Annual Christmas Show and Sale

Carving By Ron Schulte
Believe it or not, thirty years have gone by since the S D Woodcarvers started having a Christmas Show and Sale at the Park Ridge Mall (as it was called in those days).  The walkway was not heated and it required a trip outside and down the stairs to the find a restroom near the Park Ridge Shoes and Shoe Repair shop.

In 1990 sixteen exhibitors set up displays for a three-day show, and a silent auction consisting of donated carvings raised money for the Sioux Falls Children's Inn.

Since 2002 the annual Christmas show was limited to just one day, the first Saturday in December, and the number of exhibitors was rarely more than half a dozen.

This year the date is December 7.
Set up time is 8-9 AM. There is no fee for space, but you will need to bring your own table and Christmas decorating.
