Get ready for a lumberjack-sized blast at the River Country Chamber's annual Logging Fest, proudly sponsored by Elder's Forest Products. Over 70 years in the making, this fest keeps growing and bringing fresh faces to celebrate our town’s logging roots. Watch professional and amateur LumberJacks and LumberJills battle it out for top honors and be entertained by their awesome skills.

Shop unique treasures from our amazing vendors, indulge in delicious eats from food trucks, and let your little ones dazzle in the Little Miss Lumberjill and Little Mr. Lumberjack pageant. Plus, catch live wood carving by the talented local artist Matayo Montoya. It’s a day of fun, festivities, and fantastic memories.
