conVENTion Posted by Donald Woodford on Jul 19, 2011
Got back Sunday, from Ft. Mitchell, KY hanging out with over 500 ventriloquists from around the globe. Something like 14 countries represented. The theme of the convention was a "Jimmy Nelson Celebration." For those not old enough to remember he and his figure made N-E-S-T-L-E-S famous. Here's a glimpes of the group. Enjoy

WOW! looks like a adventure. Thanks for sharing. I bet you had bunches of fun.

I was there too - of course finding me in that crowd would require a magnifying glass! It was lots of fun and I enjoyed meeting Donald! I think that Donald should post a link to his scroll work website too! He does amazing work with his saw as well as his "dummies"!
I agree with Donald that the Jimmy Nelson tribute was wonderful!

Really nice scroll saw work Donald! I don't think I have ever seen portraits done with a scroll saw. Very creative.
