It took a few tries and not every little logger made it into the group photo …but here they are! It was a great turnout on Sunday for the Little Logger Contest 2024. Almost 20 little loggers showed up in their best logging-duds some even with glitter and some brought their little chainsaws. One little logger required real logger Dad support and the little lady logger in pink overalls just had enough and nodded off. All little loggers got a bag of treats and a Little Logger Lottery drawing selected the winners (it is too hard to judge them). Thanks to Sully’s for the donation of ice cream cone certificates. This event was sponsored by the Forks Forum. Photo Christi Baron

It was not sure if this was a prescribed burn or something else but there was much speculation. It caused concern for many …thankfully it was raining Monday morning. Photo Lonnie Archibald
