The public is invited to attend this exhibition and sale of sculpture free of charge. On Sat., food and beverages will be available for sale throughout the day and live musical performances will accompany the exhibition.
Sculptors may enter two works, indoor or outdoor sculpture in this non-juried competition. Every effort is made to attract both private and corporate buyers, no commission is taken by the sponsors in the event of sales.

On site registration is also available for an additional $10. In addition to local commercial lodging, outdoor camping, with showers and full bathroom facilities, is available at no charge.
