 Many Minnesota communities have a central theme, some based around the legend of Paul Bunyan. And this week's Northwood's adventure, our Josh Peterson, shows us how the Timberwerks at Lumberjack Show felt right at home in Bemidji. It was an event packed with action and excitement. For most of the day, the buzz of chainsaws could be heard throughout Paul Bunyan Park. And spectators gathered to watch real Lumberjacks show off their skills in the Timberwerks Lumberjack Show. We are a traveling Lumberjack Show. We perform at fairs, festivals, corporate events, literally all over the country. So anything from a one-day festival like this, to, or for us, a one-day festival, to a 12-day run at the Minnesota State Fair. This touring group of Lumberjacks travels all across the United States, as well as Canada, Africa, and Australia. While living life on the road, traveling as a Lumberjack is a labor of love, especially when it comes to the kids. Oh, it's gotta be doing it for all the little kids. You know, there's nothing like having two, three, 400 kids screaming, yo-ho, you know, go out and give it your all, have fun. Timber Sports are seeing a growing trend because of young Lumberjacks and Jills experiencing shows, like the one put on by Timberwerks. For the show's owner, it all began when he got his start in 4-H. The Woodsman competition, you know? And I graduated from high school and went on to a college, played, you know, at the college level, and then started competing semi-professionally, and then had the opportunity to move out to Wisconsin and compete professionally. Seeing the interest grow in sports like log rolling has now captured the interest of many schools, including Bemidji State University. The hope is that someday Timber Sports could become part of the Olympics. You know, there was talk about it when the Olympics were in Sydney, having wood chopping as part of the summer Olympics, and yeah, hopefully, yeah, hopefully, the sport will grow to that level. For a community that centers its pride around a legendary Lumberjack, it's only fitting that Lumberjacks can show off their skills in Paul Bunyan Park.
