Stoddard County Fairgrounds Dexter, MO - A special auction will be held this evening at 9:00 PM at the Stoddard County Fairgrounds. The artistry and work of Stacy and Jo Anne Robinson from Montgomery City will be on hand and auctioned off to the highest bidder. SMT Staff
Many of you have witnessed first hand this dynamic duo at the fair all week as they performed their magic with chainsaws and large pieces of hardwood. With masterful technique and a plan in their mind, this husband and wife combo yields incredible keepsakes from large logs.
The couple has been involved with the Stoddard County Fair for many years in the past. Many attendees may not realize that these items are actually for sale. Tonight at 9:00 o'clock, you will have your opportunity to become the proud owner of these artful logs.
Sam Huey of the Stoddard County Park Board urges everyone to be involved and be there to get their bid in on the items Stacy has made this week. Stacy has several items that will be of interest to everyone.
"He has one great item that is a 3-foot high and the shape of a ribbon!" commented Huey. "This would be a perfect thing for an 18 Fore Life pink ribbon or Veterans yellow ribbon. These solid hardwood carvings will last forever." 
You can find out more information about the carving couple at their website at http://www.robinsoncarving.com/. The site is very interesting and displays a gallery of many of the items they have carved in the past. All proceeds from the sale of these items will go to benefit the Stoddard County Fair.
