Wood carvers on display at 40 & 8 Hooskow event

LOCK HAVEN, PA – The fifth annual Hooskow Chainsaw Carvers’ event is up and carving at the 40 & 8 Club two miles north of Lock Haven along the Renovo Road. The public, free event features eight carvers from as far away as Michigan, displaying their artwork and offering it for sale. The two-day continues through nightfall Saturday.

One of the highlights will be the Saturday 2 p.m. Hooskow auction where carvers carry out a public auction. Event organizer Jeff Donoughe said 30 items will be up for auction. A portion of the proceeds is given to the 40 & 8 for its charitable work. Live music will follow the auction.

The event is a fundraiser, part of the 40 & 8’s “legacy of charity” donating to multiple programs, from veterans to youth sports, both in Clinton County and across the United States.

The Hooskow is open to the public, free of charge, and membership in the 40 & 8 is not required. Refreshments are available. Event sponsors are Jeff Donoughe Chainsaw Carving, PAMP Printing, Saar’s Tree Service and Restless Oaks.
