The work was hard and the camps were lonely. When they did have time off they invented activities for themselves and made sport out of their work. And now Payson, Arizona one of the most active logging communities in its hey day, holds a tribute to this period of Americana.
On May 23 & 24, 2009 professional loggers and amateurs alike will descend on Payson and compete for cash and prizes. The grand prize, the coveted “Logger of the Year” will go to the logger with the most points at the end of the two day event. In order to achieve the logger of the year status each participant will need to execute traditional logging skills as well as exhibit great stamina, accuracy and team work.
