After 24 years of extremely hard work and dedication to the Annual Mystic Carving Retreat, the coordinators of the event are retiring. Rather than let this classic event end for good, Connecticut Woodcarvers, and New England Woodcarvers are joining forces with Mystic Woodcarvers to keep the event going.
