Here is a nice little blurb from the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association Website:
"The 2016 Design in Wood Exhibition is co-sponsored by the San Diego County Fair 22nd District Agricultural Association, and the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association (SDFWA). The talented, dedicated, and hardworking SDFWA members make this unique, popular, and award winning exhibition a success. Over 1,500,000 people are expected to visit the fair this year and this exhibit is the standout. Now the exhibition has national sponsors, gives out awards and over $20,000 in prizes to entries in 25 classes. The Design in Wood Exhibition, celebrating its 35th year, truly contributes joy, inspiration, recognition, and support to the community it serves."
