Press Release for the 14th Annual RCWA Woodworking Show
Dateline: April 23, 2022 ---------- Rapid City, SD
The Rapid City Woodworkers Association (RCWA) will be sharing their skills and showing finished art products during their 14th annual Woodworking Show. It will be held Saturday April 23, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Knecht Home Center at 320 West Boulevard in Rapid City. The event is free to the public, with special emphasis on those who are interested in learning about woodworking and the organization.
The show will feature displays of fine woodworking projects by individual members. The theme for this eleventh annual show is “Puzzles and Games”. A club table will be set up for items which
reflect the theme of the show. Another area
will highlight a collection of Old Tools, with another area set up especially
for kids, featuring marble games, kangaroo/rabbit races, wooden basketball
games, giant and medium JENGA games, and a Love Bug/Puzzle Car race track. There will also be live demonstrations of
woodturning, scroll sawing, toy-making, and a computer-controlled router.
Visitors can sign up for free door prizes consisting of handcrafted wooden
items made by members, and a free monthly newsletter. A fundraiser will offer raffle tickets to win handcrafted
items, or you may participate in a silent auction of handcrafted wooden items. Proceeds will be used to buy supplies for the
RCWA’s Toy Making Program for less fortunate children in the Black Hills.
Woodworking demonstrations will highlight several projects. There will be explanations of how to make wooden
toys using common tools, wooden bowls and wooden pens on a woodturning lathe,
and how to use a computer and a scroll saw to make wooden name signs, plus bowls
and vases. Interested children can have
their own names cut from wood to take home.
Children will be encouraged to color their own Puzzle Car, and then race
it on our track. Love Bugs will be
available for the younger children. Members
of the RCWA will be available to share advice as well as swap techniques and
project ideas with those attending the show.
The event will be held at 320 West Boulevard near the intersection of Omaha
and West Boulevard. Specials on tools
and supplies for woodworking will be featured throughout the Knecht Home Center
during the show. Additional information
