Well Dryden the 2019 Chainsaw Challenge has come to an end! What a fabulous weekend we had! Our guest carvers took a log that looked like firewood to most and c...reated a work of art! Even with extreme heat and downpours so many people stopped in to check out this first ever event and meet the carvers. There are so many people to thank for allowing this weekend to take place, we are very grateful to all of you! And to our volunteers who spent a better part of the weekend ensuring things went smooth... you are all amazing!!! We hope that we can make this event bigger and better in the coming years! Thank you Dryden!! with Darcy Birnie and 6 others. See more

Looking forward for this event.
