Carolina Cane Gathering 2023: May 4th thru May 6th

>> Good news! The Carolina Cane Gathering 2023 is on! Register Today! <<

We have made commitments to the Valle Crucis Conference Center for May 4th thru May 6th. The Center sits on 450 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains and overlooks a peaceful rural valley. The Center is conveniently located near Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock, NC. The Valle Crucis Conference Center is a faith based not-for-profit organization offering hospitality to organizations like ours. This venue is nothing short of outstanding and the people have been a delight to work with. If you haven’t, check out their web site here: https://vcconferences.org. The Valle Crucis Conference Center has the potential of becoming the gathering’s permanent home. For those that are inclined to spend their afternoons and evenings trout fishing there is no shortage of beautiful and productive trout streams in the area… one bordering the conference center’s property.

Lodging and Commuter options for Carolina Cane Gathering 2023 are noted below. We do need your registration and a check no later than April 10th. We are thrilled to see old friends and meet new ones at the Carolina Cane Gathering 2023.

>> Carolina Cane Gathering 2023 Program <<

The program will consist of three presentations/demonstrations during the mornings of May 5th and May 6th followed by an afternoon of conversation, casting, and trout fishing. Program topics remain under development but we anticipate the following morning sessions;
  • May 5th: Nodeless Construction, Manual Hollowing Techniques, and Splitting & Straightening.
  • May 6th: Bamboo Flaming Techniques, Rod Tube Construction, and an Open Topic Forum.

The Carolina Cane Gathering has taken shape with excellent attendance. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone at the gathering in about three-weeks. A big thanks to each for getting their registration and checks sent before the requested April 10th date. A few more rooms do remain available, so if you’ve been on the fence about joining us or not… now is the time to sign-up. Please email Monty (montykirby1944@gmail.com) with any questions you might have. Checks can be mailed to Johnny Bratton c/o Wake Stone Corporation, PO Box 190, Knightdale, NC 27545.
