After 24 years of extremely hard work and dedication to the Annual Woodcarving Retreat (Mystic Retreat), the coordinators of the event have retired. Rather than let this classic event end for good, Connecticut Woodcarvers, and New England Woodcarvers have joined forces with Mystic Woodcarvers to keep the event going.
