Timberfest

This past weekend was the annual Timberfest in Doniphan.  This is the second year that they have held it; it’s a competition weekend for local loggers from Southeast Missouri area.  The winner can attend the national timberfest competition.  Some of the things these guys did was awesome…they would race to the top of a pole then free fall down.  Then the log roll in water, not to mention the ax throw toward a bulls-eye.  It was a very interesting set up, they also had an old logging camp with information from local families that have been in the logging industry.

Our College/Career group did a partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, we worked a food booth and split the proceeds 50/50.  I worked Thursday morning and all day Saturday.  It was a lot of fun and there were people EVERYWHERE.  There was a very good turn out, and we ended up making some good money for only three day of work.

I’m working this week…woot!!  I went to work with the company that my brother currently works for.  So I’m getting some income to come in (which is a good thing).

Until later…ERM
