THE LUMBER JACKS!
On Sundaya my wife and I found
ourselves at the Sullivan County Fairgrounds
in Forksville for the annual Lumberjack
Festival. You could say these festivals are
a miniature version of county fairs. There
are arts and crafts, entertainment, plenty
of food and, of course, the Lumberjack
copetition! On Sunday we found several
artists using chain saws to cut their masterpieces
out of wood. They're timed, judged on the
quality of their work, which is then auctioned
off to the highest bidders, and get their chance
for some pretty good prize money. Folks who
live in these parts love to gather at events like
these. And a number of "outsiders," like us,
show up too. It's a true community event. And
if you take the time to look around you'll find
similar festivals and fairs throughout the area,
especialliy at this time of the year. Search one
out near you! I don't think you'll be disappointed!
I hope you'll get out there and enjoy what the area
has to offer! Also hope you're well and that all
your NEWS is good!
