The
Louisiana Forest Festival, reorganized in 1980, salutes
the timber industry in our state. The festival
encompasses timber related activities. There are
numerous forestry equipment displays and related exhibits. Professional
lumberjack sports competitors come from throughout the
United States to participate in the show. The Lumberjack
Challenge T.V. Show on OLN has featured the festival.
There will be 13 lumberjack events to cheer on with 6
different chainsaw events. The festival will have excellent
fun and food throughout the day. Come and look at the
homemade crafts and join in the fun of contests and prize
drawings. There will be children’s activities and
games.
