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

Hop House early 1900s- The first settlers to the Forks Prairie did not come for logging. Hops were one of the main crops. Merrill Whittier was one of the first white settlers/farmers and is seen here standing next to the dog near the center of photo. Also in the photo and sitting on the left bottom is John Sutherland, believed to be one of the first white settlers to see Lake Sutherland (named after him) and Lake Crescent. This structure once stood on the east side of main street near where the Forks Motel is today. Boyd Rupp Photo Hop House early 1900s- The first settlers to the Forks Prairie did not come for logging.
