June 10 - 14 (ending at noon on 14th), 2025
Held at the Osceola County Fairgrounds
in Evart, Michigan
Evart is located in the center
of the lower peninsula.
The Fairgrounds is 1/2 mile west of the Evart
traffic light on US10
Note: Certain restrictions
apply for anyone under age 18.
They must be accompanied by
a parent, to participate in workshops.
Sharing ideas and techniques is
the main focus of the Roundup
and is structured for beginners
as well as accomplished carvers.
Setup for the workshop leaders begins Tuesday afternoon.
This is NOT a SEMINAR in that we offer DAILY workshops on a first come basis.
Sign-up is not necessary for most classes as most last for only one session, others may
take a couple of days to complete. Workshop material must be purchased
from the workshop instructor. You can join many of them any time of day,
and are welcome to join us any day during the Roundup.
This is a great opportunity to try out the many different types of carving.
There is no cost for workshops - however
there is a moderate cost for workshop supplies.
All instruction is totally volunteer and we happily
welcome anyone
willing to give a little time to help others learn.
Email us if you
would like to give a workshop rhads134@comcast.net or horsecarver@gmail.com
