The 10th Annual Penturners Rendevous was held on Wednesday evening, May 16th in Provo UT. After a full day of sun, fun, demos, and food at CSUSA Super Wednesday we had our annual gathering in the McKay Event Center. There were plenty of tables for pen displays along with the usual literature tables. Also, our many supporting vendors had tables at the event. We had ongoing demos by John Johnson and Brian and Mark Gisi. At 9PM, we started the door prize drawings with two grand prizes and many more. The two mini-lathe grand prizes were generously donated by Craft Supplies and Woodcraft. We had many, many more wonderful prizes (see our sponsors list below) with everyone going home a winner.

We had a great selection of vendors attending from laser kits and engraving through woods, kits, plastics, and more. |
We had two demo areas for the room. The demos are getting setup since they started a little later in the program. |

Lots of woods from all over the world. There were some great displays of local woods available too. |
Kallenshaan Woods brought their portable laser engraver and pre-registered attendees were given a complimentary laser pen engraving. |
There is plenty of space and time for those with special interests to gather and compare notes. |
When the demos started, the crowd got settled in for the great presentations. |

Mark and Brian Gisi get their demo started. The vendor area stays open during the demos but the bulk of the interest shifts to demos. |
Mark and Brian worked together as well as switched off to cover specific areas. |
We had a great turnout with lots of vendors, literature, demos, and prizes. |
Just one of our lucky two winners of a mini lathe as grand prizes. |
