The chips fly during Father's Day weekend during this exciting 52nd annual event
at the Lions Club Arena in Encampment. Loggers come from all over the country to
compete for the title of Rocky Mountain Champion Lumberjack. Using power
saws, axes and hand saws, the men and women competitors cut down "trees", chop
