Modified Saw Race
Contestant uses his/her own saw. They start with the saw turned off, on the ground and with both hands on the log. When "GO" is called, the contestants must start the saw and make a full cut of the log. Then the saw is turned off and the contestant runs down the 40 foot log to the other end. The saw is then re-started and the contestant makes one last cut. Time stops when the second cut falls to the ground. |

Obstacle Pole Race
This contest takes place over the pond. Contestants start on the shore of the pond, pick-up their chainsaw and move to the end a log pole positioned over the water. When (and if) the contestant makes it to the end of the pole, they start up their saw and try to cut through the 8 inch log pole without falling into the pond. If the contestant makes a successful cut through the log, he/she then shuts off the saw and heads back down the pole to the marked position on the pole without falling into the water. |

Pole Climbing
This is a timed event. In a one-way climb, the contestant starts with one foot on the ground and begins climbing on the announcer's "GO". The climb ends when the climber rings the bell at the top of the pole. |

Last but NOT Least! Kids vs. Loggers
Tug-o-War Last event of the day, All Kids are welcome to participate in a tug-o-war with the loggers. This tug-o-war takes place with the Log Show Pond in the middle. Guess what happens to the losers of this tug-o-war! Into the drink! (Our loggers are pretty tired after the day's competitions, so that must be why they always lose this event!)
