So we saw a sign at the Junior College that said "Lumberjack Festival" and thought it would be kind of fun. Now, I am not sure about the rest of you but when you say Lumberjack Festival I have images of races to saw trees up into a cord of wood, cut down small trees quickly, and generally let manly men and women strut their stuff in a challenging and entertaining way. Welll... the version here did have a contest to chop down a sapling so that it fell along a string or as close as possible. But other than that, it was more of a forestry/ nature/ community open house. It was a fun activity for our Saturday though.
The Forestry helicopter was there, The boys are here pretending to scream as the copter comes crashing down since Jessa is piloting the craft.
Isn't Jack a cutie-patootie? Such a big guy now!

This was the main thoroughfare, this local artisan made these way cool tire swings. Jessa especially liked the horse style one. Brandon and Jeffy look mighty comfy in theirs!
The Wildlife Sanctuary was here and had several birds that they brought out to show. It was cool to see them up so close.
There was a man there that made these baskets out of wood. He literally carved the thin pieces from a hunk of wood and created these very intricate baskets.The large carvings were completed before we got there.
There was bee keeper there and he taught us alot about pollination and bees and how the bees live and make honey. He was very interesting to listen to and you could tell he loved his bees!
Afterwards we went to have a picnic at Benny Russell Park. It was very fun. The Boys had a blast on the slide. They all piled up at the bottom along with some other friends they made. Kate was a big help as she followed the kids around the busy playground!
