Outdoorama – Timberwork’s Lumberjack Show

Outdoorama – Timberwork’s Lumberjack Show

Cross-admission to Outdoorama is included with your ticket to the Cottage Show!

Head on over to see Lumberjack World Championship competitors go head-to-head in modern-day Lumberjack competition! Captivating audiences for over 25 years, Timberworks Lumberjack Show powered by STIHL includes events such as axe throwing, chopping, log rolling, cross-cut sawing, hot sawing, and chainsaw carving. These century-old skills were used in the logging camps of North America in the early 1900s. To pass idle time, lumberjacks would challenge opposing logging camps in head-to-head competitions. Although technology and machinery have replaced manual labor, the old-time skills are still used today by the Lumberjacks and Lumberjills. Feel the rush of adrenaline as Lumberjills battle it out in a feat of balance and strength in the log rolling match, and don’t blink as the Lumberjacks race up the climbing poles with lightning speed.
