“We are going to have a Children’s Mir-
acle Network family and representative
there this year,” she said.
Herman-Helf also shared what’s new for
the expo this year.
One new exciting event will be a chainsaw
race on Saturday, presented by the Wiscon-
sin and UP Chainsaw Racing Association.
“They are going to have stock, pro stock,
and modified classes,” Herman-Helf said.
First, second and third place will receive
cash prizes. There is a $10 entry fee per
saw, and eye and ear protection, as well as
steel-toe boots, are required.
Also on Saturday, the Gladstone and
Escanaba Knights of Columbus are hosting
a “Logger’s Breakfast.”
Operator contests — a fan favorite — will
also be returning this year. The BARKO
Loader Skills Contest will return with
larger cash prizes than in past years, and
the Roland/Komatsu Forwarder Operator
Challenge will bring out the best forwarder
operators in the region.
