Some of the carvings are done and ready to purchase, while others are in the working stages, and the public can watch the artists at work.

Amber Long and Ernie Quinn, a married couple from Derry, PAa. have been attending the Fall Chainsaw Carve at Red Oak.

Quinn said, “Amber actually taught me how to carve. She has also taught our daughter, her sister-in-law, her brother-in-law, and two nephews.”

Long added, “I haven’t taught our 5-year-old granddaughter yet; her parents say she is too young.”

Long decided to learn to carve when an internet search for pumpkin carving turned up a chainsaw carving result; she headed to Washington State and learned to carve in 2003.

In addition to the carvers and their artistry, there are vendors, a food truck, kettle corn, and a table of baked goods made by Allie Whitten.

Whitten learned how to make baklava when she had difficulty finding it.

“I love baklava, and when I couldn’t find it anywhere, I taught myself how to make it,” said Whitten.

She also has pumpkin roll, pies, breads, and more for sale.

The event is open to the public and will run today from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., with an auction of artistry at 2 p.m.
