ANOTHER TIMBERFEST.........

5/6/2023

1 Comment

 
Saturday started with a touching National Anthem by Owen McIntosh, Tenor and Musica Sierra’s general manager along with Brandon Dodge, the high school music teacher, on drums. The weather was cool but the predicted rain showers didn't produce but a few drops.
Announcer Chrissy Ramsey did another amazing job along with Tom Beam who kept the crowd well motivated. Chrissy had introduced her dad, Alvie Marcellus from Spokane.
Vendors, food booths and fundraisers were scattered throughout downtown along with huge equipment displays complete with demos which attracted delighted young and old. Paul Roen had a good crew helping serve his succulent tri-tip sandwiches.
It was a packed day of exciting competition including men and women's Underhand Chop, Singlebuck, Jack & Jill along with the daring Springboard, Doublebuck, Stock Saw, Obstacle Pole, Choker Race, Axe Throws and Open Modified Hot Saws. There was money to be won in all events except Stock Saw.
The Local competition's top four competed on Saturday and winners took a percent of locals' entry fees. 
Following locals' competition, Tom called all competitors on stage. Unique awards, specially made by Terry LeBlanc were awarded.
  • made by Terry LeBlanc were awarded.
Sierra Timberfest Logging Show is an American Lumberjack Association sanctioned event. The crowd was told "if" they want Timberfest next year, to let Tom know and to volunteer. The crowd resounded with a positive "when" Timberfest is next year. But more volunteers are needed!
