West Virginia Division of Forestry will continue demonstrating on a small scale how boards are made from logs. Booths offer information on conservation, buffer strips, watersheds, recycling and forest-related businesses. Exhibits of band saw mills, wood splitters, engines, log trucks, skidders, loaders and chainsaws are spread throughout the grounds. First United Bank is holding a free drawing for a chain saw and Log a Load for Kids raises funds for children. A variety of chances, refreshments and products are available.
Tickets are available at the gate.
Incorporated in 1976, the mission of the nonprofit forestry association is to promote the maintenance of a healthy and productive forestland base. Among this year's exhibitors were band saw mills, wood splitters, engines, log trucks, skidders, loaders, chainsaws, and feller bunchers and more, with representatives of many of the major dealers of logging and trucking equipment. New to this year's line up of events was the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, performing two shows on Friday and three on Saturday. The Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show is a historical, educational, and humorous show, filled with audience participation. Events by these World Champion lumberjacks included springboard, underhand chop, axe throw, log rolling, and precision chainsaw racing and carving.
