Logging show features top competitors

Some of the top logging sport athletes will compete this weekend at the Forest Festival Logging Show at Loop Field.

While the competition is no longer a STIHL Timbersports qualifier event, the company still supports the contest and athletes will use results to "build their resume," Branden Sirguy, an organizer and former competitor, told the Journal.

The event will have up to 16 men competing in the "Super Six" championship and 12 women in the "Featured 4" championship.

The Super Six events are the Spring Board Chop, Stock Saw, Standing Block Chop, Single Buck, Underhand Chop and the Hotsaw.
