A festival of lumberjack heritage in Downtown
Stillwater, Minnesota. A traveling
lumberjack show does a performance as part of the event, climbing, chopping and
log-rolling, while various local vendors hawk their
wares and the local
businesses hire twice as many
employees to handle the large crowds of people
antiquing and listening to
music. The
website is www.lumberjackdays.com.
Incidentally, Stillwater is considered
The birthplace of Minnesota, and the town was started with several
lumber mills on the
St. Croix River, which is why we have an annual event called lumberjack days.
