During the third week in June chain saws, axes, hand saws and loggers create plenty of action, along with bulls, broncs and cowboys. They all come together in Encampment for a unique two-day event full of activity and excitement. Starting on Friday night with a melodrama and continuing after Saturday morning’s parade, the action gets under way with the woodchopping events. Events include axe throwing, pole throwing, log bucking, axe chopping, team and two-man cross-cutting and chainsaw contests, followed by a barbeque. The Wyoming Professional Rodeo sanctioned rodeo follows with a full slate of events including calf roping, team roping, break-away roping, barrel racing, bareback riding, saddle bronc, bull riding and steer wrestling. Saturday night brings casino night and dances throughout town. Get some rest though, Sunday brings the second day of both the woodchopping and rodeo events. |
