WHAT IS LUMBERJACK:

If you didn’t know it, Lumberjack is a sport where the participants put their logging skills to test. There’s Sawing, Chopping, Log Rolling, Climbing and more.

Some of the Fairs and events feature Chainsaw art too! The Explore Minnesota website explains the chainsaw event at the Hackensack Lumberjack Days saying it,

“features chainsaw carvers from throughout the United States who will turn simple logs into works of art. The crowd can enjoy the progress as the carvers utilize their artistic insight and creativity to make sculptures from the logs.”

The axe throw requires precision and control, while the logroll requires serious balance. So when you’re in the audience you’ll get to enjoy exciting events plus its fun for the whole family.
