Name: Woodchoppers Jamboree an Rodeo
Date: June 14, 2014 - June 15, 2014
Event Description:
For over 50 years, the chips fly during Father’s Day weekend in Encampment as loggers come from all over the country to compete for the title of Rocky Mountain Champion Lumberjack. Using power saws, axes and hand saws, men and women competitors cut down “trees”, chop logs and saw squared wood blocks in half, racing the clock for the fastest time. Cowboys ride bulls and broncs. This unique Wyoming event assures a good time will be had by all. Sponsored by Encampment-Riverside Lions Club
The Grand Encampment Opera House will be rocking with laughter at 7 pm June 13 and 14. ‘Boo’ and ‘Hiss’ at the villain and cheer for the hero during this annual favorite. Admission to the melodrama is by donation.
