Lumberjacks come to DamFest!

Scheer's Lumberjack Show, sponsored by Time Warner Cable and Rose Chevrolet, is an entertaining nostalgic logging competition providing a unique blend of sports, history and comedy.

For the past 18 years, Scheer's Lumberjack Shows have appeared across the country and attracting audiences of over one million each year. Crowd participation is encouraged; and at the end of each performance, one lucky fan takes home a wooden chair carved and autographed by one of our lumberjacks.

Combining the romantic image of Paul Bunyan and the flesh and blood of modern lumberjack athletes, each 45-minute show features top world-renown athletes clad in checkered shirts and steel-toed boots with a theatrical narration delivered by one of the announcers.

The Show includes such events as axe throwing, underhand chopping, log rolling, cross cut sawing, hot sawing and chainsaw carving. Old time lumberjacks used these century-old skills to pass idle time. They would challenge each other to head-to-head competition where their skills were put to the test. Although technology and machinery have replaced manual labor, the skills are still used today by the Scheer's in the Lumberjack Show.

Scheer's lumberjack Shows have been featured on ABC's Wide World of Sports, TNN, ESPN "Jeep Trails," Discovery Channel's "The Travelers," MTV's "Real World" and "Road Rules" and the Family Channel, as well as in hundreds of newspapers and television/radio broadcasts.
