Woodfest in the Amana Colonies

By Executive Director

Friday, August 21st, Saturday, August 22rd   & Sunday, August 23rd

Amana, IA -   All are invited to join us next weekend at the Amana Colonies RV Park for the Midwest's Greatest Wood Show.  There is something for everyone at this one of a kind festival that is all about wood.

Woodfest is sponsored by the Amana Arts Guild, with over 50 exhibitors.  Admission is free to enjoy wood creations and demonstrations at the Amana RV Park and Event Center.  Event hours are: Friday 11am to 5pm, Saturday 10 am to 5pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

In an air-conditioned setting, visitors can watch and visit with skilled crafters transforming wood into useful, artistic and entertaining objects. Featured this year will be the works of George Wright and his unique fish creations, as well as Marie McDonough and her rose carvings.  In addition, visitors will see the premier showing of nationally recognized model builder Barclay Lawder's historic train and Mack truck.  The popular sawing of logs into lumber as well as chainsaw carving will be on- going throughout each day of the family event.  Woodcrafters interested in participating in this or next year's show, should contact the coordinator at 319-622-3908 or woodfest@southslope.net for details.
