The Maidu Summit Consortium is hosting The Big Time Logging Jamboree with sponsor Collins Pine on June 7 at Collins Park in Chester from noon to 5:00pm. “Each year competitors and guests have increased as we celebrate logging and forestry in Plumas County,” says Misty Salem, finance and community engagement coordinator. “This is a great event for the community to enjoy the competitions and learn about MSC and the projects we are working on for land management and protection,” she adds.
The event opens with a Maidu song and prayer and showcases 13 competitive events with cash prizes for first to fourth place. A $1,000 will be awarded to the best over-all logger. For bragging rights, businesses can enter the Axe Throw for some friendly competition amongst one another. A variety of food and craft vendors await attendees to be enjoyed with beverages hosted by The Almanor Foundation, who has partnered each year with the Maidu on this annual event. Admission is free.
