Over the weekend of Oct. 8 and 9, Candor, N.Y. celebrated fall with the annual Fall Festival.
One of the highlights each year is the Woodcarver’s display at the Candor Fire Hall. This year did not disappoint, as there were 27 tables of woodworking displayed by 31 woodcarvers.
Roger Westgate has coordinated the Woodcarver event for 26 years. Westgate is also the founder of the Catatonk Valley Woodcarvers.
Other activities throughout the weekend included fall activities at the Iron Kettle Farm, quilt displays, goat farm tours and activities, and much more.

- Randy Connor, from Candor Hill Woodcarvings, was the recipient of the Harold C. Westgate Carver of Year Award. His peers voted him as an outstanding contributor to the Candor Woodcarvers Show. Each year the members of the Catatonk Valley Woodcarvers Club nominate and honor their own carver of the year. Harold C. Westgate, who was an expert in the artistry of woodcarving, inspired this recognition. He inspired the club members to excel in all aspects of woodcarving and in teaching and was a perfect example of the Best of the Best. Connor is shown at the table with his carved Owl and Outstanding Contributor Plaque.
