We will lead an informal spouse outing to visit some of Dalton's points of interest. Let's meet in the Spouse Lounge at 9:30. We will car pool from there, so bring your car keys! We'll visit the Blunt House (built 1848) in the morning and have lunch at the delightful Dalton Depot Restaurant in downtown Dalton. In the afternoon, we'll go to see the Dalton "Festival 2014" Arts and Crafts Fair. Please print the flyer below.

Instant Gallery
4th Demonstration Room Dedicated to Tool Vendors:
This is your chance to watch respected woodturning tool makers and suppliers as they each work with their own products for a full 90 minute demonstration and explain the reasoning behind their design. You can see the tools in use before you decide which to buy.
Fundamental Skills Hands-On Area
This area will have a mini-lathe and skilled turners available to provide one-on-one answers to your questions about fundamental skills. Please print the Fundamental Skills Area Rotation Schedule below.
Shopping
For those of us who need "just one more tool" or some special pieces of wood, our Vendor Area will be stocked with tools, related equipment, supplies and beautiful wood during the entire show.
Banquet
A delicious banquet dinner will be serverd Saturday evening. The price of the Banquet is included in your registration fee. Additional Banquet seating may also be ordered for spouses and/or friends not attending the symposium demonstrations.
Auction
With our long-time friend and Auctioneer, Tim Ryan, you are assured an enjoyable, laugh-filled, evening. Our auction will include donations of turned pieces, tools, supplies and wood donated by our attendees, our Vendors and GAW members. All proceeds from the auction support continuing education in woodturning through the GAW scholarship program. Each turner coming to the symposium is encouraged to donate a turned piece (or anything you choose) to the auction to support our scholarship fund.
Location
The Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center is a terrific facility. It allows us to offer four large, sound-controlled demonstration rooms with plenty of seating. And… the Trade Center has plenty of free parking! This facility is perfect for our symposium.
