Meet the men who created their own sport and folklore,
witness their skill in dangerous events like you've never seen before.
From tbe big cedar country, hemlocks and tall firs,
a land of timbered mountains, where only wildlife stirs.
From Wickheim Timber Shows, eight men come marching out,
meet a group of modern Paul Bunyans, great men beyond doubt.
Four loggers to a side, march around the show ground to do events like this,
the horizontal block chop, chips fly to the ground.
A logroller gives a demo across the pond,
two double-bladed axes hit the target with a thudding sound.
Two double buckers against a chain saw race...............
-an excerpt from a poem written by Bob Waibel about the Wickheim Timber Shows
read the brief story here. adorable.
I'd make men like that pancakes every morning with sweet sweet lovin' poured all over the top.
