        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!
