June 14-15

48th Annual Woodchoppers Jamboree and Rodeo   The chips fly during Father's Day weekend in June every year in Encampment as 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 logs and saw squared wood blocks in half, racing the clock for the fastest time. Cowboys ride bulls and broncs, and the melodrama encourages the audience to get involved. This unique Wyoming event assures a good time to be had by all.
