Let the Games Begin

Finally after all the politicians had given a speech the crowd could enjoy the loggers competition.

The first event was the tree cutting for accuracy. Each logger had to cut a pole so it fell closest to a peg he placed in the ground. After that was measured by the judges and the stump was checked for a level cut then the logger had to estimate a 10 foot section of trunk and cut it without measuring. If you were off by 6 inches or more you were out of the competition.

They even had a girl logger competing. First she notched the side towards the peg.

Next she cut the back side and let the tree fall towards the peg.

The crowd enjoyed the competition ..........................

especially watching the trees fall for accuracy .....................

another favourite was building a pyramid with logs using a loader, this was not as easy as it looks.
