The annual Wood Carving Show, run by the Richmond Carvers Society, is being hosted this weekend at the Steveston Community Centre.
Running noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, the show, in its 26th year, frequently attracts hundreds of people each day with its exhibits, judged competitions and artisan soaps and jewellery and raffle.
“The show is judged independently and the competition comes from across the Fraser Valley and the U.S.,” said society member and show chair David Phillips.
“It’s the biggest show of its kind in Western Canada and people can come see the exhibits and the entries and have a go at carving themselves.”
Another feature of the show is the appearance of featured artist Rupert Scow, a renowned Aboriginal carver.
