Now, here’s something you don’t see everyday! “Chics with Axes”

Most of the time, when you think of Lumberjacks, you think of men… or at least I did! Until today, I was just observing the crowds and noticed lots of chainsaws out and women standing around them. It drew my attention so I went over to take a look.

Here at the Farm Progress Show, they have three ladies here that compete all over the United States in Lumberjack competitions. The ladies are part of the Timber Tina’s World Champion Lumberjills. Two of the ladies present at the show were from Maine. Maine is where the original ancestors settled and that is where axes, saws, and the concept of making these everyday activities into a competition.
