Accuracy Fall
Contestants must drop their logs onto beer cans set up in front of each log. Each fall is timed. The most accurate and fastest fall is the winner. |
|
|
|
Axe Throw (Men's, Women's and Youth Categories.)
All must throw their Axes at a four-inch bulls eye while standing 20 feet from the target. The target is approx. 36 inches across with 5 scoring areas. Throwing axes must weigh at least 2.5 pounds and have a handle minimum of 24 inches long. |
|
|
|
|
Birling (Log Roll) - Double Elimination
Two contestants called "Birlers" roll on the same log in the water, trying to get the other off balance enough that he or she falls into the water. Birlers cannot cross the center line on the log. A fall is the first person to hit the water. |
|
|
|
Chain Race
For this event, each competitor brings their own chain which they put on a stock saw. Time begins when the chain touches wood and stops when the round falls free. |
|
|
|
|
Choker Setting (Men's, Women's and Youth Categories)
Contestants start on the starting log, run across logs to the opposite end of the arena carrying a choker over a designated course and set it at a pre-determined log, attaching the knob of the choker into the bell. Then, they must run back to the starting log for a qualifying time. |
|
|
|
Double Bucking
A pair of contestants work a two person bucking saw through a 20 inch log, competing for the best time to the complete cut. Starting cuts of no more than 1/2 inch deep are allowed in order to set the teeth of the saw. Timing starts with the work "GO' and ends when the log is severed. Jack and Jill: a man and a woman compete together Jill and Jill: two women compete together. |

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!)
