Each year, 25,000 people flock to this town in the gorgeous highlands known as the Pennsylvania Wilds to witness this event, a showcase that allows more than 200 chainsaw carvers from all over the world to display their talents, mingle with their peers, share and learn new techniques, and teach the craft to others. World Champions create one-hour “quick carve” sculptures and work on larger, more complex pieces of exceptional beauty and complexity throughout the week. There is also plenty of music, an auction of chainsaw art, the chance to buy large and small pieces from the assembled artists, communal meals, live music, and much more.

Come to Olmsted Manor and be refreshed and renewed. Throughout history Christianity has had a lot to say about women. But, what have women had to say about themselves, about their faith, and about God? Join Dr. Amy Oden for a weekend of fellowship and personal discovery to listen to the voices of women throughout Christian history as they speak their lives, and converse with them as they invite us to speak our own.
