The Creede Woodcarvers Rendezvous Colorado Event was the brainchild of Fran and Ivan Vanaken in 1991. They invited members of the Colorado Carver Club and Pikes Peak Whittlers to Creede to an event in the old school gym. After the underground community center was completed in 1994, the event was moved into that venue. Creede is a beautiful location with great fishing, rock hunting, ATVing, the Creede Repertory Theatre, fun shopping and great food.
