Tomorrow (Saturday, August 27, 2 PM) Marty Dodge, (currently volunteer woodsmen coach for FLCC), will present his new video, "In Celebration of the Joy of Coaching." This video will highlight some of his experiences in his 37 years as FLCC's Woodsmen's Team Coach (1974 to 2011). Included will be successful techniques that made FLCC's team the most successful woodsmen's squad in the country for the 70-year history of the annual college spring championship. Marty will also display a few items of equipment that are essential for competitive success.
We hope you can experience tomorrow's presentation because it will give you a greater appreciation of the skills that contestants will be using during the Macedon Center 34th Annual Community Lumberjack Festival, September 10 and 11. Gates open at 8 PM each day, and admission is only $3 Adult, $2 Seniors and $1 Kids 6-14. You'll get to see log rolling, two-man crosscut, chain sawing, ax throwing, hot saw, spring board, and more. A grease pole climb (which is great fun to watch) will also take place at 5 PM on Saturday. And there are lots of displays by crafters and collectables offered for sale both days as well as a petting zoo. Food is available all day, starting with a lumberjack breakfast (7-11 AM, Saturday; 8-Noon, Sunday).
And speaking of lumber and wood ... there are several interesting books in the collection covering these topics. We'll talk about those in our next post.
